EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Geneva, from the City Flags series (N6) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, 1887" takes us back to the enchanting city of Geneva in the late 19th century. The image showcases a close-up view of this Swiss gem's skyline, with its iconic red and gold flags proudly waving against a backdrop of Lake Geneva. The lithography technique used in creating this masterpiece brings out every intricate detail and vibrant color, making it a true heritage art piece. The bicolour banner flutters gracefully in the wind, symbolizing Geneva's rich history and identity. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene, we are transported to a time when cigarette cards were cherished collectibles that offered glimpses into different cities around the world. This particular card by Allen & Ginter captures not only the geographical features but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone.
