EDITORS COMMENTS
This comical lithograph from the late 19th century captures the essence of an English tourist in a satirical and stereotypical manner. Part of the "Worlds Dudes" series for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, this print showcases a gentleman dressed in a checked coat, representing the fashion trends of that era. The English Tourist is depicted with his distinct facial hair, sporting a stylish moustache and wearing a fashionable hat. Holding an umbrella, he exudes sophistication while exploring America as part of his travel adventures. The vibrant colors used in this portrait add to its charm and appeal. This trade card serves as both entertainment and advertisement for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, showcasing their association with popular culture at the time. It reflects how tobacco companies often utilized art to promote their products during this period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece represents not only historical heritage but also serves as a parody on societal stereotypes prevalent during that era. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into Victorian-era tourism and highlights the concept of cultural exchange between England and America. While appreciating this artwork's artistic value, it is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with it. Instead, let us admire how it encapsulates both humor and style from bygone times within its frame.
