EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Carrier Pigeon" is part of the renowned Birds of America series (N4) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands. Created in 1888 by Allen & Ginter, a prominent American tobacco company of the 19th century, this print showcases the exquisite beauty and intricate details of one of nature's most fascinating creatures. The carrier pigeon takes center stage in this close-up profile shot, its plumage meticulously rendered with delicate lines and shading through lithography techniques. The bird's distinctive wattle adds a touch of vibrant color to the otherwise monochromatic image. Perched on top of a rustic building amidst an idyllic countryside setting, it exudes an air of grace and elegance. This stunning piece not only captures the essence of American wildlife but also serves as a testament to the artistry involved in printing during that era. The lithotint method employed here allows for subtle variations in tone and texture, enhancing every feathered detail. Now housed within a museum collection, this historic trade card offers us a glimpse into both natural history and artistic heritage. It reminds us that beyond its commercial origins lies an enduring appreciation for nature's wonders and our desire to preserve them through art.
