EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph, titled "Steamship Rhode Island, Providence Line" is part of the Ocean and River Steamers series by Duke brand cigarettes. Created in 1887, during the height of America's industrial revolution, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of the shipping industry in 19th century America. The steamship takes center stage as it gracefully glides through the water, its billowing smoke adding a touch of drama to the scene. The ship proudly displays an American flag on its mast, symbolizing national pride and patriotism. A group of women can be seen on deck, representing both female passengers and workers who played a vital role in this bustling industry. The chromolithograph technique used to create this print brings out vivid colors that enhance every detail - from the intricate patterns on the ship's banner to each ripple in the water below. This collectible cigarette card not only showcases Duke brand cigarettes but also serves as a historical artifact documenting transportation advancements during this era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this artwork stands as a testament to America's rich maritime heritage and its significant contributions to global trade. It reminds us of an era when steamships were at their peak popularity for transporting goods and people across vast distances. With its combination of artistry and historical significance, "Steamship Rhode Island" invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty captured within this image and reflect upon America's evolving transportation industry in the late 19th century.
