EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph titled "Pennant U. S. United States Jack, from Flags of All Nations" is a remarkable piece of American heritage art. Produced in 1887 for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands' series, this cigarette card showcases the iconic flag of the United States with great attention to detail and vibrant colors. The image features the well-known American flag, commonly referred to as the Stars and Stripes. The blue banner proudly displays a capital letter "U. S" along with an anchor symbolizing maritime strength and nautical prowess. The white stars on a blue field represent each state within the nation, while alternating red and white stripes symbolize valor and purity respectively. This lithograph beautifully captures America's patriotic identity through its powerful imagery and meticulous printing technique. It serves as a testament to both national pride and historical significance during that era. Displayed against a neutral background, this print stands out as an emblematic representation of North America's rich cultural heritage. Its presence evokes feelings of admiration for our country's past achievements while reminding us of our enduring values. Preserved by The Metropolit Museum in Virginia, this trade card offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the symbolism behind one of America's most recognizable symbols – its flag.
