EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print from the late 19th century showcases Jacob Gaudaur, a renowned oarsman and sportsman. The image is part of the "Worlds Champions" series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, created in 1887. In this portrait, Gaudaur exudes strength and determination as he poses confidently in his sportswear. Gaudaur's impressive physique and focused gaze reflect his dedication to rowing, a profession that brought him great success. As an accomplished sculler, he was celebrated for his exceptional skills on the water. This trade card serves as a testament to his athletic prowess and highlights his prominent position within the sporting community. The vibrant blue background adds depth to the composition while contrasting with Gaudaur's yellow sportswear. The lithotint technique used in this printing process enhances both color and detail, resulting in a visually striking piece of art. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this lithograph captures not only Gaudaur's physical attributes but also represents an era when cigarette cards were popular collectibles among enthusiasts. It offers us a glimpse into the world of sports during the late 19th century while celebrating one man's remarkable achievements on the water. As we admire this historic print today, let it serve as a reminder of Jacob Gaudaur's legacy as an esteemed oarsman and symbolize our fascination with sportsmanship throughout history.
