EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century chromolithograph titled "The Nile Bride, Egypt" is a part of the Holidays series (N80) for Duke brand cigarettes. Created by George S. Harris & Sons in 1890, this stunning print showcases an allegorical figure dressed in traditional Egyptian national costume. The bride stands gracefully amidst a scenic backdrop of the majestic Nile River and vibrant flowers. The intricate details and vivid colors bring to life the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. The flowing garments adorned with delicate floral patterns reflect the country's unique sense of style and elegance. This collectible cigarette card offers a glimpse into the beauty and allure of Egypt during that era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this lithograph captures not only the natural beauty but also evokes a sense of wanderlust for viewers who long to explore distant lands. It serves as a visual reminder of how art can transport us to different times and places. While originally intended as promotional material for Duke brand cigarettes, today it is appreciated purely for its artistic merit. This print reminds us that even commercial pieces can hold historical significance and contribute to our understanding of different cultures around the world. With its exquisite craftsmanship and timeless appeal, "The Nile Bride, Egypt" continues to be an enduring symbol of both artistic excellence and cultural exploration from America's past.
