EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Marriage of Venice to the Sea, Italy" takes us back to the enchanting city of Venice in the 19th century. This stunning image is part of the Holidays series by George S. Harris & Sons and was originally created as a commercial color lithograph for Duke brand cigarettes in 1890. In this vibrant scene, we witness an allegorical figure representing Venice herself, elegantly dressed in traditional Venetian attire. She stands proudly on a boat adorned with colorful flags and flowers, symbolizing the union between Venice and its beloved sea. Surrounded by other boats filled with men dressed in their finest national costumes, this image captures a momentous occasion - perhaps a celebration or festival that showcases the rich cultural heritage of Italy. The mayor can be seen among these distinguished gentlemen, adding an air of importance to the event. The chromolithograph technique used to create this piece brings out every intricate detail - from the exquisite clothing worn by each individual to the picturesque backdrop of Venetian architecture and glistening waters. This print not only serves as a collectible item but also transports us back in time to experience the beauty and grandeur of Venice during one of its most festive moments. It is truly a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance captured within one frame.
