This print showcases a vintage trade card from 1891, featuring limes as part of the "Fruits" series (N12) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands. Issued by Allen & Ginter American, this exquisite piece was created to promote their brand cigarettes during that era. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has carefully preserved and reproduced this historical artifact, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value today. The trade card depicts a vibrant illustration of limes, capturing their vivid green color and textured skin in remarkable detail. This image serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during the late 19th century. The composition is both visually appealing and informative, showcasing the beauty of these citrus fruits while also providing useful information about their origin. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when such trade cards were highly sought after collectibles. They served not only as promotional tools but also as miniature works of art that captivated audiences with their intricate designs. Thanks to the efforts of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Fine Art Storehouse, we can now own a piece of history through this stunning reproduction. Whether displayed in our homes or offices, this print allows us to appreciate the artistry behind advertising materials from yesteryears while celebrating the timeless allure of limes and their place within our cultural heritage.
