EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph captures a portrait of the renowned American author, James Fenimore Cooper. Part of the Great Americans series for Duke brand cigarettes, this print was created in 1888 and showcases Cooper's distinguished appearance. Cooper, known for his literary contributions to 19th-century America, is depicted as a distinguished gentleman with an air of wisdom and intellect. The chromolithograph beautifully brings out the rich colors in his attire and surroundings, adding depth to his character. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this collectible cigarette card that has become a treasured piece of American heritage. It serves as a reminder of Cooper's significant impact on literature during this era. Although smoking is not mentioned in relation to the image or its commercial use, it is worth noting that tobacco companies often used such prints as promotional materials at the time. However, focusing solely on the artwork itself allows us to appreciate its historical value and artistic merit. Through this lithograph, we are transported back to a bygone era when men like James Fenimore Cooper played pivotal roles in shaping American culture through their written words. This portrayal immortalizes him as an influential figure whose works continue to be celebrated today.
