EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph, titled "Navigazione Generale Italiana" is part of the Ocean and River Steamers series produced by N83 for Duke brand cigarettes in 1887. The artwork showcases a bustling scene from the shipping industry in 19th century Italy, highlighting the country's significant role in maritime transportation. In this picturesque image, a magnificent steamship adorned with flags sails gracefully through calm waters. The ship represents the pinnacle of industrial progress at that time, symbolizing both power and elegance. A group of women dressed in traditional attire stands on deck, their presence adding a touch of grace to the composition. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Italy's rich heritage and its contribution to global trade during this era. It serves as a reminder of how water transport played a vital role in connecting nations and facilitating economic growth. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this collectible cigarette card offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into history while showcasing exceptional color rendering techniques employed by N83. Although created for commercial purposes by W. Duke Sons & Co. , it has transcended its original intent to become an artistic representation cherished by art enthusiasts worldwide. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also acknowledge the significance of Italy's shipping industry during America's 19th-century expansionism period.
