EDITORS COMMENTS
Roll Over, from the Gymnastic Exercises series (N77) for Duke brand cigarettes, 1887 captures a whimsical moment in American history. This vibrant color lithograph, created by an unknown artist in the late 19th century, showcases a female gymnast performing a shoulder stand with grace and humor. The image is part of a collectible cigarette card set produced by W. Duke Sons & Co. , known for their popular Duke brand cigarettes. These cards were often included as promotional items within cigarette packs during this era. In this particular scene, the gymnast's body defies gravity as she balances herself on her shoulders while wearing a traditional Victorian leotard and sportswear. Her legs extend gracefully into the air, showcasing both strength and flexibility. The concept behind these images was to entertain smokers while they enjoyed their Duke brand cigarettes. The colorful lithographs featured various sports and exercises that embodied athleticism and physical prowess. Today, this chromolithograph can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City as part of their extensive collection. It serves as a reminder of America's fascination with leisure activities during the late 19th century and offers insight into the cultural norms surrounding smoking at that time. This print not only celebrates women's participation in sports but also provides us with a glimpse into an era where cigarette cards served as both collectibles and sources of entertainment.
