EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the grandeur of the Steamship Valencia, a proud vessel belonging to the Red D. Line in 19th century America. The image is part of the iconic Ocean and River Steamers series (N83), commissioned by Duke brand cigarettes in 1887. The steamship stands tall against a picturesque backdrop of blue waters, with its billowing smokestacks symbolizing progress and industrial prowess. A large American flag flutters proudly from its mast, representing national pride and unity. In this bustling scene, we see women elegantly dressed on deck, perhaps enjoying a leisurely cigarette break or simply taking in the breathtaking views. Their presence highlights both the growing popularity of smoking among women during this era and their increasing role in society. The lithograph not only serves as an advertisement for Duke brand cigarettes but also pays homage to America's thriving shipping industry at that time. It showcases how water transport played a vital role in connecting different parts of the country while facilitating trade and commerce. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this collectible print offers us a glimpse into America's rich maritime heritage. Its vivid colors and meticulous details make it an exquisite piece that transports us back to an era when steamships ruled the waves and represented progress on both land and sea.
