EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph showcases the majestic Swordfish, a true icon of American waters. Part of the renowned Fish from American Waters series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, this print captures the essence of aquatic life in vibrant color. The Swordfish, scientifically known as Hiphias gladius, is depicted gracefully swimming through its natural habitat. Its sleek body and long bill are beautifully rendered in intricate detail, showcasing the mastery of lithography employed in this artwork. Allen & Ginter's dedication to capturing America's rich natural heritage is evident in every stroke of this lithotint masterpiece. The United States' vast coastline provides an abundance of diverse marine life, and this image pays homage to one such remarkable species. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are transported back to a time when fishing was not only a means for sustenance but also an art form. This cigarette card serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression prevalent during the 19th century. Let us appreciate the beauty and significance of our country's aquatic treasures through this exquisite portrayal.
