EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the late 19th century showcases Captain Adam Henry Bogardus, a renowned rifle shooter and one of the world champions of his time. The image, part of the Allen & Ginter Cigarettes' Series 1 (N28) collection, exudes an air of strength and determination. In this portrait, Captain Bogardus stands tall and proud, dressed in a stylish coat with a neatly tied necktie. His black attire contrasts against the lighter background, emphasizing his commanding presence. A well-groomed moustache adorns his face, adding to his rugged charm. The artist skillfully captures Bogardus holding a rifle with confidence and expertise. This weapon symbolizes both his prowess as a sportsman and perhaps even alludes to his involvement in warfare during that era. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this lithotint print. As we gaze upon this historic piece at The Met museum today, it serves as a reminder of America's rich sporting heritage. Bogardus personifies the spirit of competition and represents not only himself but also countless individuals who dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft. This trade card offers us glimpses into another time - an era when cigarette cards were treasured collectibles rather than commercial promotions. It invites us to appreciate not just its aesthetic value but also its historical significance as it preserves memories from bygone days.
