EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Moscow Coachman" takes us back to the late 19th century in Russia. The lithograph, based on a photograph by an anonymous Russian photographer of that era, beautifully captures the essence of a coachman from Moscow. The image is part of a series called "People of Europe" cigarette cards produced by Anstie in 1925. During this time, cigarette cards were immensely popular as collector items and sources of instruction, entertainment, and amusement before the advent of television and radio. In this vintage card advertisement, we see a distinguished male figure wearing a traditional European hat with his impressive beard adding to his character. The coachman's stoic expression hints at the challenges he may have faced while navigating the bustling streets of Moscow. The engraving technique used in this artwork adds depth and texture to every detail, making it even more visually appealing. This promotional piece not only serves as an advertisement but also provides us with a glimpse into Russian history and culture during that period. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this print showcases both artistic mastery and historical significance. It reminds us how these cigarette cards played an important role in marketing products while simultaneously educating and entertaining consumers.
