Gilly-flower - Unfading Beauty, from the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers (N75) for Duke brand cigarettes, 1892
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph print titled "Gilly-flower: Unfading Beauty" is part of the renowned series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers by Donaldson Brothers. Created in 1892 for Duke brand cigarettes, this exquisite artwork showcases the delicate charm and timeless allure of gillyflowers. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the enchanting beauty of this Victorian-era flower. The gillyflower, also known as carnation or clove pink, symbolizes deep love, fascination, and admiration. Its elegant petals gracefully unfold against a backdrop that evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this collectible cigarette card represents an era when tobacco companies used art to entice consumers. However, let us focus on appreciating its artistic value rather than its commercial purpose. Through this lithograph's masterful execution, we are transported back to a time when nature's wonders were celebrated through art. It serves as a reminder that even amidst industrial progress and societal changes during the late 19th century America, there was still appreciation for the natural world. As we admire this beautiful portrayal of unfading beauty captured by Donaldson Brothers' skilled hands, let us reflect on how flowers have always held a special place in our hearts – symbols not only of nature's splendor but also expressions of human emotions throughout history.
