EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print, titled "Tyrolese" from the World Smokers series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888, captures the essence of 19th-century American culture and its fascination with different national costumes. The image showcases a dapper Tyrolese man dressed in his traditional attire, proudly displaying his heritage. The Tyrolese gentleman is depicted wearing a striking green jacket adorned with golden tassels and buttons that add an air of elegance to his ensemble. His red hat complements the overall color scheme while drawing attention to his well-groomed mustache and beard. Holding a tobacco pipe between his fingers, he exudes confidence and sophistication. This satirical portrayal reflects the prevailing stereotypes prevalent during this era, as tobacco companies often used such trade cards for promotional purposes. However, it's important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork serves as a testament to America's rich cultural heritage and its enduring fascination with diverse traditions from around the world. By capturing this moment in history through artistry and humor, Allen & Ginter have created a lasting tribute to both their brand's legacy and American society at large during the late Victorian period.
