EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of George Abel, a prominent figure in American journalism during the late 19th century. The photograph is part of the iconic American Editors series (N1) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, released in 1887. George Abel, with his fair hair and well-groomed moustache, exudes confidence and authority as he poses in his stylish suit and coat. As an editor for The Baltimore Sun newspaper based in Baltimore, Maryland, Abel played a crucial role in shaping public opinion through his work. The image showcases not only Abel's distinguished appearance but also provides a glimpse into the world of publishing at that time. With text accompanying the portrait on this trade card, it offers viewers a deeper understanding of his occupation and contribution to journalism. Preserved by The Met museum as part of their heritage art collection, this print serves as a testament to both George Abel's individual legacy and the broader history of American media. It reminds us of an era when newspapers held significant influence over public discourse. Through this lithograph from Allen & Ginter's series, we are transported back to a time when men like George Abel dedicated their lives to reporting news and shaping opinions - leaving an indelible mark on America's journalistic landscape.
