EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph captures the dignified presence of Maximo Benito Santos Barbosa, the President of Uruguay in 1889. Part of the renowned Worlds Sovereigns series (N34) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, this collectible cigarette card showcases a significant political figure from the late 19th century. President Barbosa is depicted wearing a military uniform, reflecting his previous role as Minister for War. The lithotint technique used to create this print beautifully highlights every detail, from his regal posture to his stern yet composed expression. As one gazes at this portrait, it becomes evident that President Barbosa was not only a leader but also an embodiment of strength and authority. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, further emphasizing its historical significance. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Uruguayan politics and society during the Victorian era. Although little is known about the artist behind this masterpiece or their intentions when creating it, one cannot deny its artistic merit and cultural value. This portrait serves as a testament to both President Barbosa's impact on Uruguay and Allen & Ginter's commitment to producing high-quality prints that captivate collectors worldwide. As we admire this photograph print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us into another era—a time when leaders like Maximo Benito Santos Barbosa shaped nations with their vision and determination.
