EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print from the late 19th century showcases a comical and satirical portrayal of a stockbroker, part of the iconic Worlds Dudes series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes. The image captures the essence of American fashion and style during this era, with its colorful depiction of a distinguished gentleman in his Victorian attire. The well-dressed man is adorned in a top hat, symbolizing his status and sophistication. He holds a walking stick with an air of confidence as he poses for the portrait. His gloves add an extra touch of elegance to his ensemble, while his measuring tape hints at his profession as he meticulously calculates stocks. This caricature playfully exaggerates stereotypes associated with stockbrokers at that time. Through clever satire, it pokes fun at their perceived flamboyance and fashionable demeanor. The artist's use of bold colors adds vibrancy to the scene, capturing attention and inviting viewers into this whimsical world. Displayed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this trade card reflects not only Allen & Ginter's influence but also serves as a testament to America's rich cultural heritage during the late 19th century. It offers us insight into both popular perceptions and societal norms surrounding professions like stockbroking in that era. As we admire this piece today, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its historical significance in documenting American fashion trends and social commentary through visual storytelling.
