EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print titled "Fox Hunting, from Worlds Dudes series (N31) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, 1888" captures the essence of 19th-century American fashion and satire. Created by Allen & Ginter, a prominent tobacco company of that era, this artwork showcases their unique trade card featuring a comical depiction of fox hunting. In this satirical portrayal, we see a group of gentlemen dressed in stylish Victorian attire engaging in the popular sport of fox hunting. Clad in jodhpurs and top hats, these men epitomize the fashionable stereotypes associated with country pursuits during that time period. The artist skillfully employs color and comic elements to create an amusing scene that pokes fun at societal norms. The Heritage Art print offers us a glimpse into America's past as it reflects both the cultural values and sense of humor prevalent during the late 19th century. With its attention to detail and playful composition, this artwork serves as a testament to Allen & Ginter's commitment to producing visually captivating cigarette cards. Displayed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this piece not only celebrates historical fashion but also highlights the significance of trade cards as an advertising medium in early America. As we admire this lithograph today, let us appreciate its artistic merit while acknowledging its role in shaping visual culture during an era when tobacco companies sought innovative ways to engage consumers through artistry and wit.
