EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print titled "Magyar, from Worlds Dudes series (N31) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, 1888" captures the essence of a stylish Hungarian gentleman in the late 19th century. The image is part of a trade card collection produced by Allen & Ginter, an American tobacco company known for their artistic cigarette cards. The Magyar man depicted in this artwork exudes confidence and fashion-forwardness with his impeccable attire. His colorful clothing and jodhpurs showcase the Victorian era's penchant for bold colors and patterns. A meticulously groomed moustache adorns his face, adding to his air of sophistication. While this portrait may seem comical or satirical to modern viewers due to its exaggerated stereotypes, it provides valuable insight into the prevailing fashion trends and cultural perceptions of that time period. It serves as a reminder of how society's ideals have evolved over the years. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece represents not only an important historical artifact but also highlights the intersection between art and commerce during America's Gilded Age. Beyond its commercial origins as a cigarette card, it now stands as a testament to heritage art and offers us glimpses into both Hungarian culture and American popular imagery from that era.
