Dahlia - Dignity, from the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers (N75) for Duke brand cigarettes, 1892
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Dahlia flower, aptly titled "Dignity". From the renowned series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers by Donaldson Brothers, this lithograph captures the essence of Victorian elegance. Intricately detailed and bursting with vibrant colors, this commercial color lithograph was created as part of an advertising campaign for Duke brand cigarettes by W. Duke & Sons Company in 19th century America. The image exudes grace and sophistication while subtly alluding to the language of flowers - a popular concept during that era. The delicate petals unfold gracefully against a backdrop that symbolizes industrial progress in America. This juxtaposition highlights both nature's timeless beauty and its harmonious coexistence with human innovation. As you gaze upon this collectible cigarette card, it transports you back to an era when tobacco companies embraced artistry in their marketing endeavors. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this piece within its collection, reminding us not only of our cultural heritage but also how art can transcend time. Let yourself be captivated by the allure of this stunning lithotint; it is more than just a visual masterpiece – it represents an era where aesthetics met industry in perfect harmony.
