EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant lithograph titled "Independence Day, Belgium, Austria" captures the essence of celebration and national pride. Created in 1890 by George S. Harris & Sons for Duke brand cigarettes, this print is part of the Holidays series (N80). The image showcases a female figure dressed in traditional national costumes from both Belgium and Austria, symbolizing unity between these two countries. Set against a backdrop of colorful flags and banners, the allegorical figure holds a laurel wreath high above her head as a symbol of victory and honor. Her attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of both nations, with intricate details highlighting their unique traditions. This chromolithograph serves as more than just an advertisement; it represents the spirit of Independence Day on July 4th in America. It reminds us that celebrations transcend borders and unite people across different cultures. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this collectible cigarette card offers a glimpse into the past - a time when commercial art was used to promote products while also showcasing artistic talent. As we admire this piece today, let us appreciate its historical significance and remember how art can bridge gaps between nations and bring people together in celebration.
