EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a majestic Tiger, part of the renowned Animals of the World series (T180) issued by Abdul Cigarettes in 1881. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured through commercial color lithography transport us back to 19th century America. This collectible cigarette card, now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States, serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. The Tiger's intense gaze and powerful presence are beautifully rendered in this lithograph. Its rich orange fur contrasts against a lush green background, evoking the untamed beauty of its natural habitat. As we admire this feline creature frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of awe for its strength and grace. Lithotint printing techniques employed during this era allowed for precise reproduction of images like this one, enabling widespread distribution among avid collectors. Today, it serves as an invaluable artifact that provides insight into not only the artistry involved but also societal interests and trends from that period. As we delve into the unknown artist behind this masterpiece, their identity remains shrouded in mystery. However, their talent shines through every stroke on this lithograph—a true testament to their skillful craftsmanship. This print invites us to appreciate nature's wonders while reflecting on our own place within it—an enduring reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing our imagination across time and space.
