EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical print captures the essence of Signor Macaroni, a character from the renowned Worlds Dudes series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. This cigarette card, created during the 19th century, showcases the satirical and stereotypical portrayal of an American gentleman with a twist. Signor Macaroni's fashion-forward attire reflects the fashionable trends of that era, complete with a stylish suit, trilby hat, and monocle. His meticulously groomed moustache adds to his dapper appearance while holding an umbrella or parasol as accessories for both style and practicality. The lithograph technique used in this artwork brings out vivid colors that enhance every detail of Signor Macaroni's outfit. The artist cleverly combines elements of parody and satire to create this whimsical portrait. As part of Allen & Ginter's trade cards collection, this image represents not only a tobacco company but also serves as a reflection of American culture at that time. It highlights how stereotypes were often exaggerated for comic effect. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's extensive heritage art collection, this print stands as a testament to the creativity and ingenuity prevalent during America's Victorian period. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into history through its depiction of societal norms and fashion trends.
