EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the grandeur of the Steamship Abyssinia, a proud vessel belonging to the Canadian Pacific Line. Part of the iconic Ocean and River Steamers series, this 19th-century print was originally created as a promotional cigarette card for Duke brand cigarettes in 1887. The image showcases the ship sailing gracefully through American waters, with its billowing smokestacks emitting plumes of steam. The rich colors bring to life every detail of this majestic steamship, from its towering masts to its meticulously designed flag fluttering proudly in the wind. Intriguingly, amidst this industrial scene stands a woman on deck, representing both elegance and strength. Her presence adds a touch of femininity against the backdrop of an otherwise male-dominated shipping industry. This juxtaposition highlights not only her individuality but also symbolizes women's growing role in society during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable lithograph housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported back to a time when steamships revolutionized transportation and united states across vast distances. It serves as a reminder of America's maritime heritage and the pivotal role played by ships like Abyssinia in shaping our nation's history. This print is not just an exquisite work of art; it is also an important historical artifact that encapsulates both technological advancements and societal changes during America's nineteenth century.
