EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 19th century showcases an English Naval Officer, part of the renowned Worlds Smokers series (N33) created by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. The image captures a moment frozen in time, revealing a distinguished gentleman proudly donning his naval uniform. His attire exudes authority and elegance, reflecting the prestigious role he holds within the British Navy. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this lithograph bring to life the essence of Victorian England. The officer's hat sits perfectly atop his head, while his eyes gaze confidently into the distance. This portrait not only represents an individual but also serves as a testament to an era defined by naval warfare and national pride. As we delve into history through this remarkable piece of art, it is important to acknowledge its significance beyond mere aesthetics. It sheds light on societal stereotypes prevalent during that time period – notions associated with smoking culture and national dress codes. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this trade card produced for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes allows us to appreciate both artistic mastery and historical context simultaneously. It offers a glimpse into America's fascination with tobacco products during the late 19th century without mentioning any commercial use or endorsing such practices. Through this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal chapter in maritime history while contemplating broader themes surrounding identity, fashion, and cultural perceptions across nations.
