EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intriguing 19th-century lithograph captures the essence of Poland through its currency. The print features a Polish man proudly holding a coin, specifically a 3 Grosze from the Coins of All Nations series. Produced in 1889 for Duke brand cigarettes, this commercial color lithograph showcases the rich history and diversity of America during that time. The man depicted in the image exudes confidence as he stands tall, his eye patch adding an air of mystery to his persona. Clutching the coin tightly, he symbolizes both financial stability and national pride. The chromolithograph's vivid colors bring life to every detail, highlighting the intricate design on the coin itself. This piece is part of Duke W Sons & Co's collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), showcasing their dedication to preserving cultural heritage. While we may not know who exactly created this artwork, it remains an important historical artifact representing Polish culture within American society. Beyond its artistic value, this print also serves as a reminder of how cigarette cards were once collectible items that offered glimpses into different countries and cultures. It invites us to appreciate not only Poland's currency but also its people and traditions. As we admire this lithograph today, let us remember that art has the power to transcend time and borders while igniting curiosity about our shared human experience.
