EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph print showcases the majestic Steamship Burgundia, a proud vessel of the Fabre Line. Produced in 1887 by Duke brand cigarettes as part of their Ocean and River Steamers series, this collectible cigarette card transports us back to the bustling shipping industry of 19th century America. The image depicts the grand steamship sailing gracefully through American waters, its towering smokestacks billowing white clouds into the sky. The ship's flag proudly flutters in the wind, representing both national pride and commercial success. A group of women can be seen on deck, perhaps enjoying a leisurely moment or bidding farewell to loved ones embarking on new adventures. The lithograph's rich colors bring life to every detail - from the deep blue hues of the water to the vibrant reds and golds adorning both ship and flag. This artwork not only celebrates technological advancements but also highlights gender roles during this era, with women prominently featured alongside symbols of industrial progress. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection today, this piece serves as a testament to America's maritime heritage and its reliance on steamships for transportation and trade. It invites viewers to imagine themselves aboard this magnificent vessel, experiencing firsthand an important chapter in United States history.
