EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed lithograph captures the essence of Ecuador's rich history and cultural heritage. The image showcases a 2 Reals coin from the series "Coins of All Nations" produced by Duke brand cigarettes in 1889. This stunning piece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, representing an era when cigarette cards were highly sought-after collectibles. The lithograph features a caricatured man holding a pickaxe, symbolizing Ecuador's association with mining and its valuable natural resources. Dressed in traditional attire, he stands proudly against a backdrop that highlights the country's picturesque landscape. The use of vivid colors adds depth to this artwork, allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail on both the coin and the man depicted. The inclusion of currency emphasizes Ecuador's economic importance during this time period. Beyond its commercial origins, this lithograph serves as a historical artifact that reflects America's fascination with global cultures during the late 19th century. It offers us a glimpse into how people perceived different countries through their coins and symbols. As we admire this print, let it remind us not only of Ecuador's monetary value but also its rich cultural identity—a testament to our shared human history across nations.
