This vibrant chromolithograph, titled "Henry M. Stanley" is part of the Great Americans series commissioned by Duke brand cigarettes in 1888. The print showcases the renowned explorer and journalist Henry Morton Stanley, known for his remarkable expeditions through Africa during the late 19th century. Stanley's captivating portrait captures his determined gaze and rugged demeanor, reflecting his adventurous spirit and unwavering determination. Clad in a traditional African attire, he stands as a symbol of exploration and discovery. The vivid colors used in this commercial color lithograph bring to life the rich landscapes that Stanley encountered on his journeys across the continent. It serves as a testament to both his personal achievements and America's fascination with exploring new frontiers during this era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this collectible cigarette card offers a glimpse into an important chapter of American history. It pays homage to Sir Henry Morton Stanley's significant contributions to our understanding of Africa while also serving as a reminder of the cultural significance attached to smoking during that time period.
