EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the essence of a Carnival celebration in Rome, Italy during the late 19th century. The image is part of the iconic Holidays series (N80) for Duke brand cigarettes, created by George S. Harris & Sons in 1890. In this scene, we are transported to the heart of Rome's festive atmosphere as people from all walks of life come together to revel in the spirit of merriment. The streets are adorned with colorful decorations, setting the stage for an extravagant masquerade ball. Women dressed in elaborate national costumes dance gracefully alongside men wearing stylish attire. The allegorical figure at the center adds a touch of mystique to this enchanting scene, symbolizing the magic and allure that permeate throughout Carnival season. The lithograph beautifully showcases every intricate detail - from the exquisite clothing and masks worn by participants to their joyful expressions as they immerse themselves in this joyous occasion. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but be transported back in time to experience firsthand the energy and excitement that filled Rome during its annual Carnival celebrations. It serves as a testament to both Italian culture and American artistry, capturing a moment frozen in time that continues to inspire awe even today. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as a testament not only to George S. Harris & Sons' artistic prowess but also as a cherished reminder of our shared human desire for celebration and connection across cultures and generations.
