EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage trade card from 1891, featuring luscious cherries as part of the "Fruits" series (N12) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands. Produced by Allen & Ginter American, this exquisite piece was one of 50 cards designed to promote their renowned cigarette brand. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this historical gem in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such promotional materials over a century ago. The image itself is a testament to the attention to detail and vibrant colors employed by the artists at Allen & Ginter. The cherries are depicted with utmost realism, their deep red hues contrasting beautifully against the dark background. Each cherry seems plump and juicy, enticing viewers with their tempting allure. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this trade card offers us a glimpse into advertising practices of yesteryears. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects like fruits were utilized creatively to market products back in the late 19th century. Thanks to Fine Art Storehouse's dedication to preserving and sharing these remarkable pieces of history, we can now own an authentic reproduction of this Cherries Trade Card from 1891. Displaying it proudly in our homes not only adds charm but also sparks conversations about art, culture, and how marketing strategies have evolved throughout time.
