Morning Glories - Bonds of Affection - A Victorian Tribute to Floral Beauties
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting color lithograph, titled "Morning Glories: Bonds of Affection" is a captivating piece from the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers. Created in 1892 by Donaldson Brothers for Duke brand cigarettes, it showcases the exquisite beauty and symbolic meaning behind morning glories. In this vibrant artwork, delicate morning glory flowers gracefully entwine around each other, forming a mesmerizing display of affectionate bonds. The convolvulus arvensis, commonly known as bindweed or field convolvulus, represents unity and strong connections between loved ones. During the late 19th century in America, cigarette cards like these were highly collectible items that accompanied tobacco products. However, let us focus on the artistic value rather than commercial use. The intricate details and vivid colors make this print a true masterpiece. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable lithograph within their collection. It serves as a testament to James Buchanan Duke's legacy as an influential figure in American tobacco industry history. As we gaze upon this stunning image today, we are transported back to an era where floral symbolism held great significance. Let us appreciate the craftsmanship behind this work while acknowledging its historical context – a time when artistry intertwined with industrial progress in America's rich tapestry.
