EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed lithograph captures the essence of Norway in the late 19th century. The print features a 10 Kronors coin from the series "Coins of All Nations" by Duke brand cigarettes, created in 1889. This commercial color lithograph showcases the rich heritage and culture of Norway, as well as its currency. In this scene, we see a fisherman dressed in traditional Norwegian clothing, complete with a souwester hat and fishing net. He stands proudly with his pipe in hand, symbolizing both his occupation and leisurely pastime. The attention to detail is remarkable; every aspect of his attire is meticulously depicted. The background depicts a picturesque coastal location typical of Norway's stunning landscapes. The chromolithograph technique used adds depth and richness to the colors, making it truly come alive. This artwork represents not only an advertisement for Duke brand cigarettes but also serves as a collectible item that reflects American fascination with foreign cultures during the late 19th century. It now resides at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to captivate visitors with its charm and historical significance. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into both Norwegian life and American advertising history during this era - an intriguing blend of artistry, commerce, and cultural exchange.
