EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of King's Birthday in the Netherlands, transporting us back to the 19th century. The image, part of the Holidays series by George S. Harris & Sons, showcases a momentous celebration filled with joy and patriotism. In this commercial color lithograph commissioned for Duke brand cigarettes in 1890, we witness a grand parade honoring William III of the Netherlands. The streets are adorned with colorful banners fluttering in the wind as an allegorical figure symbolizing national pride takes center stage. The Netherlandish people proudly display their traditional costumes while cheering and waving flags to express their admiration for their beloved prince, Willem Alexander Paul Frederik Lodewijk. This scene exudes a sense of unity and excitement that permeates through every corner. The chromolithograph technique used here brings out vivid hues that enhance our visual experience. From deep blues to radiant reds, each color contributes to creating an atmosphere brimming with festivity. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this historic piece not only serves as a testament to Dutch heritage but also reflects America's fascination with cultural celebrations from around the world during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it reminds us of how traditions evolve over time but continue to hold immense significance in shaping our collective identity.
