EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the grandeur of the Steamship Bohemia, belonging to the prestigious Hamburg American Packet Company. The image, part of the iconic Ocean and River Steamers series commissioned by Duke brand cigarettes in 1887, showcases a remarkable piece of 19th-century maritime history. The steamship stands proudly amidst a picturesque ocean backdrop, its colossal size emphasized by the inclusion of several tiny figures on deck. The meticulously detailed lithograph highlights every aspect of this magnificent vessel - from its towering masts adorned with flags representing different nations to its elegant design that seamlessly combines German engineering prowess with American innovation. Intriguingly, a woman takes center stage in this composition. Dressed elegantly in period attire, she symbolizes both grace and strength as she gazes out towards an unknown horizon. Her presence suggests that women played an integral role not only as passengers but also as contributors to America's burgeoning shipping industry. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported back to a time when steamships revolutionized transportation and connected distant lands like never before. This lithograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and industrial progress during the late 19th century. Through this print, we can appreciate not only the technical marvels of shipbuilding but also how art intertwines with commerce and culture. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane objects like cigarette cards can become cherished collectibles that preserve our shared heritage for generations
