EDITORS COMMENTS
Wild Rose: Poetry, a captivating print from the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers (N75), showcases the exquisite artistry of 19th-century America. Created for Duke brand cigarettes in 1892 by the renowned Donaldson Brothers, this commercial color lithograph is now treasured at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In this vibrant composition, a delicate wild rose takes center stage, its petals unfurling with grace and beauty. Symbolizing love and passion, the wild rose captivates viewers with its enchanting fragrance and timeless allure. Its presence evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when nature's wonders were celebrated through art. The rich colors and intricate details captured in this lithograph transport us to a bygone era where tobacco was an integral part of American industry. While we admire the artistic mastery behind this piece, it is important to note that it represents more than just advertising; it embodies the cultural heritage and craftsmanship prevalent during James Buchanan Duke's reign as head of W. Duke Sons & Co. As we gaze upon Wild Rose: Poetry, we are reminded not only of our nation's industrial past but also how art can transcend time. This collectible cigarette card serves as a testament to both human creativity and our enduring fascination with flowers – nature's own poetry.
