EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and exquisite trade card from 1891, featuring the Shaddock fruit. Part of the renowned "Fruits" series (N12) by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, this particular card was issued to promote their exceptional tobacco products. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has carefully preserved this historical artifact, allowing us to marvel at its intricate details even after all these years. The vibrant colors and meticulous illustration on the trade card instantly transport us back to a time when such cards were highly coveted collectibles. The Shaddock, also known as pomelo or grapefruit, is beautifully depicted in all its glory - its textured skin and juicy segments seemingly come alive through the skillful artistry captured on this print. As we gaze upon this piece of history, we are reminded of an era when cigarette brands sought unique ways to entice customers. Trade cards like these served not only as promotional tools but also as miniature works of art that people cherished and displayed proudly. Thanks to Fine Art Storehouse's dedication to preserving cultural heritage, we can now own a piece of history ourselves. This print allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship behind these vintage trade cards while adding a touch of nostalgia and elegance to any space it graces.
