EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Emperor's Birthday, Austria" captures the essence of a grand celebration in 19th century Austria. This chromolithograph from the Holidays series (N80) for Duke brand cigarettes is a collectible piece that showcases the rich cultural heritage and opulence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In this vibrant image, an allegorical figure representing America joins in the festivities dressed in traditional Austrian clothing. The anniversary of Emperor Franz Joseph I's birthday is marked with great pomp and splendor, as seen by the ornate costumes worn by both men and women. The double-headed eagle, symbolizing power and authority, prominently features on flags and banners throughout the scene. It serves as a reminder of Austria's historical significance as part of the Holy Roman Empire. Created by George S. Harris & Sons, renowned for their commercial color lithographs during this era, this print beautifully captures not only the intricate details of national dress but also highlights how art can be used to promote various products such as cigarettes. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this stunning lithograph provides us with a glimpse into a bygone era where celebrations were extravagant and national pride was displayed through elaborate costumes.
