EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Soldier, French Revolution" is part of the iconic Worlds Smokers series (N33) created by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. The image showcases a man dressed in a military uniform from the time of the French Revolution, capturing both historical and satirical elements. The soldier's attire reflects the national dress of that era, with meticulous attention to detail in his clothing and accessories. His hat proudly displays symbols associated with royalty and rebellion, symbolizing the turbulent times during this significant period in history. Holding a tobacco pipe between his fingers, he embodies a stereotypical representation of soldiers indulging in smoking as an act of relaxation or camaraderie. This portrait serves as a visual parody highlighting societal norms and stereotypes prevalent during Victorian America. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into how individuals were perceived based on their appearance and affiliations. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this trade card was originally produced for promotional purposes by Allen & Ginter Tobacco Company but has since become an invaluable piece of heritage art. Its vibrant colors bring life to this historic scene while inviting us to explore different aspects of culture, fashion, and identity during one of history's most transformative periods.
