EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant lithograph captures a rare glimpse into the 19th-century Liberian culture through its currency. The print showcases a one-cent coin from Liberia, part of the renowned series "Coins of All Nations" produced by Duke brand cigarettes in 1889. The colorful chromolithograph depicts a stylish Liberian woman holding the coin delicately in her hand. Dressed in traditional clothing, she wears an elegant bonnet and holds a fan, exuding grace and sophistication. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold of her dress and every strand of her hair is meticulously rendered. Liberia's rich heritage as an African nation is beautifully represented in this image. The coin itself symbolizes both financial value and national pride for Liberia, reflecting its status as an independent country on the west coast of Africa. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this lithograph offers viewers a window into history while celebrating the artistry behind commercial cigarette cards like those produced by W. Duke Sons & Co. , who commissioned this piece. As we admire this artwork today, it reminds us not only of Liberia's cultural significance but also serves as a testament to how art can transcend time, preserving moments that might otherwise be forgotten or overlooked.
