EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "St. Louis, from the City Flags series (N6) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, 1887" takes us back to the vibrant cityscape of St. Louis in the late 19th century. The image showcases a bustling scene along the Mississippi River, with its iconic steamboats gracefully gliding through its waters. The lithotint technique used in this print beautifully captures every detail and color, bringing life to each element within the composition. The bridge connecting both sides of the river stands tall and proud, symbolizing progress and connectivity. Intriguingly, numerous flags representing different cities are depicted throughout the artwork, adding a touch of diversity and identity to this metropolitan view. This inclusion reminds viewers that St. Louis is not just an isolated city but part of a larger network of urban centers across America. The close-up perspective allows us to appreciate the intricate textural details present on each flag as well as other elements such as buildings and structures dotting both shores. These minute details transport us back in time while also highlighting how much has changed since then. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this trade card originally served as an advertising medium for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands but now serves as a valuable piece of heritage art that offers insight into St. Louis' rich history and cultural significance during that era.
