EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a significant piece of American journalism history. The image features Melville E. Stone, an influential figure in the world of media and the editor of Chicago Daily News during the late 19th century. In this particular artwork, Stone is part of the American Editors series by Artokoloro. This commercial color lithograph was originally issued as a trade card to promote Allen & Ginter cigarettes in 1887. However, this larger version of the card stands out with its impressive dimensions measuring at 2 7/8 x 3 1/4 inches (73-83 cm). The design on this print includes not only Stone's portrait but also various pictorial elements that add depth and character to the overall composition. It is fascinating to see how such attention to detail was given even for promotional materials back then. As we admire this historical artifact, it reminds us of both the artistic craftsmanship involved in creating these trade cards and their significance as marketing tools for tobacco brands like Allen & Ginter. Beyond its original purpose, this print now serves as a window into an era when printed advertisements played a crucial role in shaping public opinion. Overall, this stunning depiction offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both Melville E. Stone's contribution to journalism and the artistry behind these unique trade cards from over a century ago.
