EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolithograph from 1888 showcases J. Ericsson, a prominent figure in American history. Part of the Great Americans series commissioned by Duke brand cigarettes, this collectible cigarette card captures the essence of Captain John Ericsson's remarkable life and achievements. Ericsson, an esteemed engineer and inventor, played a pivotal role in shaping America's transportation industry during the 19th century.

In this portrait, Ericsson exudes confidence and intelligence as he gazes into the distance. The rich colors bring out every detail of his distinguished features and capture the spirit of a man dedicated to advancing science and technology. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this lithograph as part of its collection, preserving not only Ericsson's legacy but also showcasing the artistry behind commercial prints from that era.

Ericsson as more than just a face on a cigarette card; he was an influential figure who propelled America forward through his contributions to engineering and transportation.
