EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage trade card from 1891, featuring the exotic Sour Sop fruit. Part of the renowned Fruits series (N12) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, this stunning piece is now preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Crafted by lithographer George S. Harris & Sons, based in Philadelphia at the time, this artwork captures the essence of an era long gone. The image transports us back to a time when trade cards were used as promotional tools and collectible items. This particular card was created to promote Allen & Ginter's cigarettes brands but has since found its place among fine art enthusiasts. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to the Sour Sop fruit depicted on the card. Its textured skin and unique shape are beautifully portrayed, making it almost tempting enough to reach out and taste its tropical flavors. As we admire this snapshot from history, we can't help but appreciate how art transcends time. It reminds us that even everyday objects such as trade cards can become cherished pieces of art with their own stories to tell. Thanks to The Metropolitan Museum of Art's dedication to preserving cultural artifacts like this one, we have the opportunity to connect with our past and celebrate artistic craftsmanship from generations before us.
