EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph, titled "Azalea: Attraction" is part of the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers by Donaldson Brothers. Created in 1892 for Duke brand cigarettes, this print showcases the exquisite beauty of azaleas while also reflecting the cultural significance attached to these flowers during the Victorian era. The image portrays a stunning azalea blossom in full bloom, its delicate petals radiating shades of pink and coral. The attention to detail in this commercial color lithograph is remarkable, capturing every intricate feature with precision. The Azalea flower symbolizes attraction, making it an ideal choice for advertising purposes. Commissioned by James Buchanan Duke, founder of American Tobacco Company, this artwork represents a fusion between nature's elegance and industrial innovation. It serves as a testament to Duke's vision for his company - merging artistry with commerce. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this lithograph exemplifies the artistic techniques employed during the 19th century in America. Its vivid colors and meticulous craftsmanship continue to captivate viewers even after more than a century since its creation. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece from Donaldson Brothers' collection, we are reminded not only of the allure that azaleas possess but also their historical significance within American culture. This collectible cigarette card transcends its original purpose as an advertisement and stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and our enduring fascination with nature's wonders.
