EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and exquisite print titled "Tulip: A Declaration of Love" is part of the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers, created by Donaldson Brothers for Duke brand cigarettes in 1892. The image showcases a stunning tulip, symbolizing love and affection, against a backdrop of lush greenery. During the 19th century in America, tobacco companies like American Tobacco Company sought to promote their products through visually appealing cigarette cards. This particular lithograph was produced by Donaldson Lithograph Company for W. Duke Sons & Co. , owned by James Buchanan Duke. The delicate beauty of the tulip is captured with precision using color lithography techniques that bring out its rich hues and intricate details. The choice to feature this flower suggests an association between smoking Duke brand cigarettes and expressing love or admiration. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this collectible piece represents both the artistic prowess of lithography during the Victorian era and the industrial nature of the tobacco industry at that time. As you admire this print, let it serve as a reminder not only of the artistry behind commercial advertising but also as a glimpse into 19th-century America's cultural landscape where flowers held deep symbolic meanings within society.
