EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolithograph captures a unique piece of Canadian history - the 10 cent piece from the series Coins of All Nations. Produced in 1889 by Duke brand cigarettes, this print showcases the intricate details and rich colors of the original coin. The image features a caricatured female figure dressed in traditional Canadian attire, complete with snowshoes and winter clothing. The artwork is a testament to the commercial ingenuity of W. Duke Sons & Co. , who sought to create collectible cigarette cards that would appeal to their customers. This particular card highlights Canada's currency and heritage, making it an intriguing addition to any collection. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this lithograph serves as a window into late 19th-century America and its fascination with both finance and popular culture. It offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends, footwear choices, and even smoking habits prevalent during that era. While we may not know who specifically created this image or its intended purpose beyond advertising for Duke brand cigarettes, it remains an important artifact in understanding how art intersected with commerce in America during this time period. Whether you are interested in numismatics or simply appreciate historical prints like these, Canada's 10 cent piece from Coins of All Nations (N72) provides an engaging visual narrative that invites exploration into our shared past.
