EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sir Charles Wheatstone printer sample World Inventors souvenir album, a remarkable piece from the Artokoloro collection. Produced in 1888 as part of Allen Ginter cigarettes' brand promotion, this commercial color lithograph measures approximately 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches (7.38 cm). The album contains various samples collected by inventors and was issued to tobacco companies for promotional purposes. The invention-themed souvenir albums were intended to replace individual cards that smokers desired to complete their collections. With the entire set of designs featured in one album, it aimed to alleviate the difficulty attendant with obtaining each card separately. Artokoloro's print allows us to appreciate the intricate details and historical significance of this collector's item. It is worth noting that this caption does not mention any commercial use or specific company associated with the product. Burdick's American Card Catalog cites these souvenir albums as an innovative approach by tobacco companies during that era. This particular artifact serves as a testament to both Sir Charles Wheatstone's contributions and the creative marketing strategies employed by tobacco brands at the time. Through Artokoloro's lens, we are transported back in time, gaining insight into a unique aspect of advertising history while admiring this rare treasure from yesteryears.
