EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print titled "Neapolitan" is part of the iconic Worlds Dudes series (N31) created by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. Capturing the essence of 19th-century fashion and satirical stereotypes, this comical portrait showcases a stylish gentleman from Naples, Italy. Dressed in a fashionable coat trimmed with fur, this Neapolitan dude exudes charm and elegance. His choice of clothing reflects the trends of the Victorian era, emphasizing his status as a well-dressed man. The attention to detail in his attire highlights the meticulousness that went into creating these trade cards. The artist behind this piece cleverly combines elements of parody and satire to create a humorous portrayal of Neapolitan culture. Through exaggerated features and playful expressions, he challenges societal norms while simultaneously celebrating individuality. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when cigarette cards were highly sought after collectibles. These small works of art not only served as promotional tools for tobacco companies like Allen & Ginter but also provided glimpses into different cultures around the world. Today, housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this Neapolitan print stands as a testament to both American heritage and artistic expression. It serves as a reminder that even in commercial endeavors such as cigarette card production, creativity can flourish and leave lasting impressions on society's perception of style and identity.
