EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph, titled "Steamship Buffalo, Wilson Line" is part of the iconic Ocean and River Steamers series (N83) for Duke brand cigarettes. Created in 1887 by an unknown artist, this 19th-century American masterpiece showcases the grandeur of steamships that were integral to the transportation industry during that era. The image depicts a majestic steamship sailing through calm waters with its billowing smokestacks emitting clouds of white steam. The ship's prominent banner proudly displays the name "Buffalo" while numerous flags flutter in the wind, symbolizing national pride and maritime excellence. Amidst this industrial marvel stands a woman on deck, representing both elegance and strength. Her presence highlights women's involvement in various aspects of society during this time period. This lithograph not only celebrates technological advancements but also acknowledges the vital role played by women in shaping America's history. With meticulous attention to detail and vivid colors, this collectible cigarette card transports us back to a bygone era when steamships ruled the waterways as symbols of progress and prosperity. It serves as a reminder of America's rich heritage in shipping industry innovation. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print exemplifies W. Duke Sons & Co. 's commitment to producing high-quality imagery for their tobacco products. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, let us appreciate its historical significance as well as its artistic beauty.
