EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "White Ibis, from the Game Birds series (N40) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, 1888-90" showcases the exquisite beauty of an American wading bird. Crafted by Allen & Ginter, a renowned printing company of that era, this stunning piece is a testament to their mastery in commercial colour lithography. The White Ibis takes center stage in this artwork, its elegant form and delicate features meticulously captured through lithotint techniques. With its long curved beak and graceful stance, the ibis exudes an air of tranquility amidst its natural habitat. This print not only celebrates the avian marvels found across America but also serves as a reminder of our country's rich wildlife heritage. As we delve into this image further, we are transported back to a time when cigarette cards were cherished collectibles rather than mere advertisements. These small works of art provided glimpses into various aspects of life - here focusing on game birds - while simultaneously promoting tobacco products. Today, detached from any commercial context or association with smoking habits, this lithograph stands as an emblematic representation of nature's wonders during the late 19th century United States. It reminds us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such prints and the importance of preserving our natural history for future generations. In essence, "White Ibis" invites us to pause and reflect on America's diverse wildlife legacy while admiring the craftsmanship behind this
