EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the grandeur of the Steamship Atlas, a remarkable vessel from the late 19th century. The steamship, proudly displaying the American flag on its mast, stands as a symbol of industrial progress and transportation innovation in America. The image showcases the impressive size and intricate details of this magnificent ship, which was operated by the Atlas Steamship Company. Its towering smokestacks emit billowing clouds of steam, hinting at the power within. The Duke brand cigarettes advertisement cleverly incorporates this majestic scene into their collectible cigarette card series. Amidst this bustling maritime setting, we see a woman elegantly positioned in front of the ship's banner. Her presence adds a touch of grace to an otherwise male-dominated industry. This portrayal reflects society's evolving perception towards women during that era. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that it is not merely an advertisement but also a historical document capturing America's shipping industry at its zenith. It serves as a testament to W. Duke Sons & Co. 's commitment to quality craftsmanship and artistic excellence. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to travel back in time and witness firsthand America's flourishing water transport system during the 19th century.
