EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Grey Squirrel, from Quadrupeds series (N41) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, 1890" showcases the exquisite artistry and natural beauty of American wildlife. Created by Allen & Ginter, a renowned printing company of that era, this print is a testament to their commitment to capturing the essence of nature through vibrant colors and intricate details. The image portrays a graceful grey squirrel perched on a sturdy tree branch amidst lush foliage. The lithotint technique employed in this artwork brings out the subtle shades and textures of both the squirrel's fur and its arboreal surroundings. This delicate balance between precision and artistic interpretation makes it an exceptional example of commercial color lithography. Transporting us back to a time when scientific exploration was intertwined with artistic expression, this piece serves as a window into America's rich natural history. It reminds us of the diverse flora and fauna that once flourished across our great country. As we admire this remarkable print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. It stands as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship that characterized Allen & Ginter's work during their heyday in late 19th-century America. Through their dedication to creating visually stunning prints like these, they helped foster an appreciation for nature among people from all walks of life – an enduring legacy that continues to inspire us even today.
