EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the grandeur of the Steamship Muriel, a proud vessel belonging to the Quebec Steamship Company. Part of the iconic Ocean and River Steamers series, this print was created in 1887 by an unknown artist for Duke brand cigarettes. The image showcases the ship sailing gracefully through American and Canadian waters, symbolizing the strong bond between these two neighboring countries. The flag proudly flying atop its mast represents unity and cooperation in trade and transportation. Amidst a backdrop of clear blue skies, we see women on board enjoying their leisurely moments while indulging in a smoke - a reflection of societal norms at that time. This scene not only highlights the popularity of cigarette smoking but also emphasizes how women were becoming more visible in public spaces during this era. The lithograph's vivid colors bring to life every detail of this magnificent steamship, emphasizing its importance as an industrial marvel. As one gazes upon it, they can almost hear the rhythmic churning sound of its powerful engines propelling it forward. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this collectible cigarette card is not just a piece of commercial art but also serves as a historical artifact representing America's rich maritime heritage. It reminds us how ships like Muriel played a crucial role in shaping our nation's economy by facilitating trade and connecting people across vast distances.
