EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolithograph captures the essence of 19th-century America, showcasing a Chili, 1 Escudo coin from the renowned series "Coins of All Nations". Produced in 1889 for Duke brand cigarettes by W. Duke Sons & Co. , this stunning print is now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. The image portrays an indigenous man from South America, representing the native people of Chile. Dressed in traditional attire and standing proudly at full length, he embodies the rich cultural heritage of his country. The caricature-like depiction adds a touch of whimsy to this otherwise serious subject matter. The coin itself takes center stage, symbolizing not only currency and finance but also serving as a collectible item cherished by numismatists worldwide. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a true treasure. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back in time to an era when smoking was prevalent and cigarette cards were highly sought after by collectors. This artwork serves as a testament to both American history and the artistry involved in commercial advertising during that period. Through its vivid colors and attention to detail, this print invites us to appreciate the beauty found within everyday objects while honoring the diversity and traditions of different cultures around the world.
