EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "New Guatemala, from the City Flags series (N6) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands" takes us back to the late 19th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this trade card transport us to Central America, specifically to the beautiful city of New Guatemala. The image showcases a stunning skyline with palm trees swaying in the breeze, creating a serene atmosphere. A majestic eagle, a symbol of power and freedom, soars above the cityscape as if guarding its heritage. Its sharp gaze captures our attention and evokes a sense of awe. The Guatemalan flag proudly waves in the background, displaying its striking triband design: blue-white-blue with an emblematic coat of arms at its center. This flag represents not only national pride but also serves as an identity marker for New Guatemala's residents. Intriguingly inset within this scene is text that reads "Allen & Ginter" hinting at the origins of this exquisite print. The lithography technique used here adds depth and richness to every element captured on paper. As we admire this piece from The Met museum collection today, let us appreciate it as more than just a cigarette card but rather as a work of art that encapsulates nature's beauty intertwined with cultural symbolism.
