EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print from the late 19th century captures the essence of Bowery, a bustling street in America's urban landscape. Part of the iconic Worlds Dudes series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, this image showcases a comical and satirical portrayal of fashionable gentlemen strolling along the city streets. The men depicted in this artwork are dressed impeccably in Victorian-era clothing, adorned with striped trousers, stylish hats, and walking sticks. Each figure exudes an air of sophistication and charm as they bow to one another with exaggerated gestures. The artist skillfully uses color to bring out the vibrancy of their attire, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. Through its clever parody and stereotyping, this print offers a glimpse into American society during that era. It playfully mocks societal norms and expectations surrounding fashion and behavior while capturing the spirit of an evolving country. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this lithograph is not just a relic from history but also serves as a testament to Allen & Ginter's legacy as a tobacco company that produced these trade cards for promotional purposes. With its rich heritage artistry on display, this image invites us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance within American culture.
