EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "17th Century Dutchman" is part of the iconic Worlds Smokers series created by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. The image transports us back to a time when smoking was not only a common habit but also an integral part of cultural identity. The portrait showcases a distinguished gentleman from the Netherlands, donning traditional seventeenth-century attire. His brown coat and green hat exude elegance, while his bearded face adds an air of wisdom and maturity. A feather adorns his hat, symbolizing both fashion and status. With his tobacco pipe delicately held between his fingers, this stereotypical representation captures the essence of Dutch culture during that era. It serves as a reminder of how smoking played a significant role in shaping societal norms and customs. Beyond its historical significance, this lithograph stands as a testament to the artistic prowess of Allen & Ginter's trade cards. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the man's clothing to the background scenery - creating an immersive experience for viewers. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece represents America's fascination with European heritage art during the nineteenth century. Its presence within such esteemed collections speaks volumes about its cultural value and enduring appeal. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, let it serve as a window into our past; reminding us not only of our shared history but also prompting reflection on how societal perceptions have evolved over time
