EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Plum Trade Card from 1891, part of the renowned "Fruits" series (N12) produced by Allen & Ginter American. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has carefully preserved this exquisite piece, which was originally issued as part of a set of 50 cards to promote the popular Allen & Ginter brand cigarettes. The Plum Trade Card is a true testament to the artistic beauty and attention to detail that characterized advertising during the late 19th century. With its vibrant colors and intricate design, it effortlessly captures the essence of this luscious fruit. The plum's rich purple hues are brought to life through delicate brushstrokes, while its velvety texture seems almost tangible. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to an era when trade cards were highly sought-after collectibles. These small works of art not only served as promotional tools but also provided consumers with valuable information about various products and brands. Thanks to The Metropolitan Museum of Art's dedication to preserving cultural artifacts like this Plum Trade Card, we can now appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and historical significance. This stunning print serves as a reminder that even everyday objects such as cigarette advertisements can possess immense artistic value when viewed through the lens of history and craftsmanship.
