EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed chromolithograph captures the majestic Steamship City of Worcester, a proud vessel from the Norwich Line. Produced in 1887 as part of a series for Duke brand cigarettes, this print showcases the bustling shipping industry that thrived in 19th century America. The steamship takes center stage, its grandeur emphasized by the American flag fluttering proudly atop its mast. The ship cuts through the water with ease, symbolizing progress and innovation in transportation during this era. A group of women can be seen on deck, perhaps enjoying a leisurely smoke while taking in the scenic views. The lithograph's rich colors bring to life not only the ship itself but also its surroundings. The deep blue hues of both sky and water create a sense of vastness and adventure. This image serves as a reminder of how vital steamships were to United States' economic growth at that time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this collectible cigarette card offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in our country's history. It is an ode to both technological advancements and female presence within industrial settings - elements often overlooked when discussing maritime heritage. As we admire this artwork by an unknown artist, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize it as a testament to America's past achievements in transportation and trade.
