EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the grandeur of the Steamship Advance, a vessel that played a significant role in the shipping industry between the United States and Brazil during the late 19th century. The image is part of Duke brand cigarettes' Ocean and River Steamers series, showcasing iconic ships from around the world. The Steamship Advance dominates the scene with its impressive size and elegant design. Its sleek white hull stands out against a backdrop of blue waters, while billowing smoke from its steam-powered engines adds an element of dynamism to the composition. The American flag proudly flutters atop its mast, symbolizing both national pride and international trade. In this bustling maritime setting, we see women on board - perhaps passengers or crew members - adding a touch of femininity to an otherwise male-dominated industry. Their presence highlights not only their participation in transportation but also reflects societal changes as women began to assert themselves in various fields. This lithograph serves as a testament to America's industrial prowess at that time, showcasing technological advancements in water transport. It also underscores Duke Sons & Co. 's commitment to quality craftsmanship by featuring this print as part of their collectible cigarette cards. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork allows us to step back into history and appreciate both the artistic beauty captured within it and its significance within America's shipping heritage.
