EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical 19th-century print captures the essence of a German Army officer from Allen & Ginter's iconic Worlds Dudes series. Created in 1888 as a cigarette card, this lithograph showcases the satirical portrayal of military stereotypes prevalent during that era. The distinguished gentleman depicted here exudes an air of fashion and style, dressed impeccably in his military uniform adorned with intricate details. With a monocle perched on his eye and a sword by his side, he embodies the epitome of Victorian-era masculinity. Through clever parody and caricature, this artwork playfully pokes fun at societal notions surrounding German soldiers at the time. The exaggerated features and exaggerated mannerisms add to its comic charm. As part of Allen & Ginter's trade card collection, this print served not only as entertainment but also as a promotional tool for their tobacco company. It provides us with an intriguing glimpse into American culture during the late 19th century when collecting these cards became popular among consumers. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece represents both historical heritage and artistic expression. Its vivid colors and attention to detail make it an engaging visual artifact that continues to captivate viewers today.
