EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century America. This comical and satirical image captures the essence of fashion and stereotypes prevalent during that era. In this lithograph, we see a gentleman strolling down the boulevard with utmost style and flair. His attire reflects the Victorian era's fashionable clothing choices - striped trousers paired with a well-tailored suit jacket. The man dons a bowler hat, adding an air of sophistication to his ensemble. This portrait serves as both parody and satire, playfully exaggerating societal norms and expectations surrounding men's fashion at the time. It highlights how individuals were often defined by their appearance in those days. The cigarette card was originally produced as part of Allen & Ginter's marketing campaign but has since become an iconic piece of American heritage art. Today it can be found in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcasing its cultural significance beyond its commercial use. As we gaze upon this intriguing image, we are transported to another time - where gentlemen like him would leisurely stroll along bustling streets while enjoying their cigarettes. It reminds us not only of our past but also how society has evolved over time in terms of fashion trends and social perceptions. Overall, "Boulevard" offers us a glimpse into history through its clever portrayal of stereotypical characters from the late 19th century United
