EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph, titled "Hungary, 1 Florin, from the series Coins of All Nations" showcases a rare collectible cigarette card produced by Duke brand cigarettes in 1889. The artwork is part of the N72 series and features a caricatured image of a Hungarian man holding the titular coin. With its rich colors and intricate details, this print represents an important piece of American commercial history from the late 19th century. Created by an unknown artist for W. Duke Sons & Co. , one of America's leading tobacco companies at that time, this lithograph was likely used as a promotional tool to entice customers to collect these unique cigarette cards. The Metropolitan Museum of Art now houses this remarkable artifact within its extensive collection. This particular print offers us a glimpse into both the financial world and cultural diversity during that era in Hungary and America alike. As we observe this full-length portrait, we are transported back in time to witness not only the evolution of currency but also how smoking was once associated with sophistication and leisurely pursuits. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane objects like coins can carry historical significance when viewed through an artistic lens. Overall, this stunning lithograph encapsulates both artistry and commerce while shedding light on societal attitudes towards money, smoking habits, and international connections between countries like Hungary and the United States during the late 19th century.
