EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Whitebait, from Fish from American Waters series (N39) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes" transports us to a bygone era of exploration and fascination with the natural world. Created in 1889 by Allen & Ginter, this exquisite print showcases the vibrant aquatic life found in the United States. The color palette used in this lithotint is truly mesmerizing; it brings to life the delicate hues and intricate patterns of these small fish known as whitebait. With their shimmering scales and graceful swimming motion, they epitomize the beauty of nature's creations. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of America's rich heritage and its deep connection to its vast waterways. The fishing industry has long been an integral part of our country's culture and economy. This image serves as a testament to both the scientific curiosity that drove early explorers and the commercial endeavors that shaped our nation. Beyond its historical significance, this lithograph also captures a sense of wonderment about aquatic life itself. It invites us to contemplate the mysteries hidden beneath tranquil waters – an invitation to explore not only our own surroundings but also our inner depths. In essence, "Whitebait" is more than just a cigarette card; it is a window into another time when art merged with science and commerce intertwined with nature.
