EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print from the late 19th century showcases a comical and satirical representation of a Turkish man, part of the "Worlds Dudes" series created by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. The image captures the essence of American fashion and stereotypes prevalent during that era. The gentleman depicted in this artwork is dressed in an eye-catching ensemble, reflecting both Victorian style and his Turkish heritage. He wears a colorful striped coat with matching trousers, exuding fashion-forwardness even for its time. His hat, known as a fez or tarboosh, adds an exotic touch to his attire. While this portrayal may be seen as humorous today, it reflects the prevailing attitudes towards different cultures at that time. The artist employs satire to exaggerate certain features and clothing choices associated with Turkish men. This trade card was likely distributed by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes as part of their marketing campaign but has since become an intriguing piece of historical art preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in America. It serves as a reminder of how societal perceptions have evolved over time.
