EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Rail, from the Game Birds series (N40) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, 1888-90" transports us back to a bygone era of American history. Created by the renowned printing company Allen & Ginter, this exquisite print showcases one of America's majestic game birds in stunning detail. The rail bird takes center stage in this composition, its vibrant plumage and intricate features beautifully captured through lithography. This commercial colour lithograph is a testament to the artistry and technical skill employed during that time period. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich natural heritage that exists within our country's borders. The rail bird symbolizes both the beauty and resilience found in American wildlife. Its presence evokes images of vast open landscapes and untamed wilderness where hunting was not just a sport but an integral part of life. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print serves as a valuable historical artifact documenting scientific exploration and natural history studies conducted during the late 19th century. It offers us insight into how Americans perceived their environment at that time. Through careful preservation and appreciation for such works of art like these prints from Allen & Ginter's Game Birds series, we can continue to honor our nation's diverse wildlife while also celebrating the artistic achievements achieved through lithography.
