EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Sacred Kingfisher, from the Birds of the Tropics series (N5) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, 1889" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century nature illustrations. The artist's skillful use of lithography brings out every intricate detail of this Australian beauty - the Sacred Kingfisher. Perched on a branch against a vibrant tropical backdrop, this friendly avian creature exudes an aura of tranquility and grace. Its plumage boasts an array of striking colors; its body adorned with shades ranging from deep blue to vivid yellow. With its head turned in profile and a slight smile on its beak, it seems as though this kingfisher is inviting us into its serene realm. The meticulous rendering captures not only the bird but also highlights the surrounding foliage and plant life that define its natural habitat along Australia's Pacific coast. Through this print, we are transported to a distant land where exotic birds like these thrive amidst lush greenery. Originally created as part of a trade card collection by Allen & Ginter, this artwork has now found its place in museums worldwide due to its historical significance and artistic merit. It serves as a testament to both our fascination with wildlife and our desire to preserve their beauty for generations to come. As we admire this lithotint masterpiece today at The Met or any other location fortunate enough to house it, let us appreciate not just the technical prowess behind it
