Sunflower - Haughtiness, from the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers (N75) for Duke brand cigarettes, 1892
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant lithograph print captures the essence of a sunflower in all its majestic glory. From the renowned series "Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers" this artwork was created by Donaldson Brothers for Duke brand cigarettes in 1892. The sunflower stands tall and proud, exuding an air of confidence that is both captivating and commanding. Its golden petals radiate warmth and vitality, while its sturdy stem symbolizes strength and resilience. The intricate details captured through lithography bring this flower to life, showcasing nature's exquisite beauty. In the Victorian era, flowers held deep symbolic meanings, often used to convey emotions or messages. This particular image represents haughtiness - a sense of self-assuredness that can be perceived as arrogance or pride. It serves as a reminder that even within nature's delicate creations, there exists an array of complex emotions waiting to be explored. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this piece reflects not only the artistic mastery but also the industrial prowess prevalent during America's flourishing tobacco industry in the late 19th century. As we admire this stunning depiction, let us appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and historical significance – a testament to our country's rich cultural heritage.
