EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print from 1888 captures the essence of a torero, or bullfighter, in all its colorful glory. Part of the iconic Worlds Dudes series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, this image showcases the satirical and comical nature often associated with this profession during the late 19th century. The torero stands confidently in his traditional Spanish attire, adorned with a stylish cape that adds flair to his fashionable appearance. The artist skillfully portrays both the stereotype and the style of these daring men who faced off against fierce bulls in arenas across Spain. With a touch of parody and satire, this cigarette card offers a glimpse into American perceptions of Spanish culture at that time. It reflects how occupations were depicted through caricatured images for entertainment purposes. This particular print is part of an extensive collection housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), showcasing America's fascination with various professions and cultural stereotypes during the Victorian era. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a reminder not only of our heritage but also as an example of how art can reflect societal norms and values throughout history.
