EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures Axel Paulsen, a renowned Norwegian skater, in all his glory. The image is part of the "Worlds Champions" series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, dating back to 1888. Dressed in traditional winter attire, Axel stands proudly donning a fur hat and coat that exude elegance and sophistication. Axel's intense gaze reflects his dedication to the sport of figure skating, which made him an icon during the late 19th century. His skill and speed on the ice propelled him to become one of the most celebrated sportsmen of his time. The lithography technique used for this print adds depth and richness to every detail. From the intricate folds of Axel's clothing to the texture of his fur hat, each element comes alive with vibrant colors meticulously applied by skilled artisans. As we admire this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), it serves as a reminder not only of Axel Paulsen's remarkable achievements but also highlights how winter sports have captivated people throughout history. This trade card showcases both artistry and athleticism while providing us with a glimpse into a bygone era. With its Western script title and English text, this print seamlessly combines cultural elements from Norway with international appeal. It stands as a testament to Allen & Ginter's commitment to celebrating champions from around the world through their exquisite cigarette cards collection.
