EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print captures a snapshot of American life in the late 19th century. Titled "Farmer, from Worlds Smokers series (N33) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, 1888" this image is part of a collection produced by the renowned tobacco company. The bearded man depicted here represents the quintessential farmer of that era, proudly showcasing his national dress and facial hair. Dressed in traditional country attire, complete with a wide-brimmed hat and rustic clothing, this farmer exudes an air of authenticity and hard work. His pipe clenched between his teeth adds to the stereotypical image associated with men in rural occupations during that time. The artist's use of color brings vibrancy to this satirical portrayal. With a yellow background highlighting the subject's portrait-like pose, it emphasizes both his individuality and role within society as a farmer. This trade card serves as more than just an advertisement; it offers us insight into cultural perceptions and stereotypes prevalent at that time. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this lithograph print showcases not only historical significance but also artistic merit. It provides viewers with a glimpse into America's past while raising questions about societal norms and commercial influence on popular culture. As we contemplate this artwork today, let us appreciate its heritage value as well as recognize how our understanding has evolved since its creation over a century ago.
