EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Olive 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 historical gem, allowing us to delve into the rich heritage of tobacco advertising in the late 19th century. The card itself is a testament to the artistry and attention to detail prevalent during that era. A beautifully illustrated olive branch takes center stage, its delicate leaves and plump fruits rendered with remarkable precision. This trade card was one of fifty issued by Allen & Ginter as a promotional tool for their cigarettes brand. Transporting us back in time, this image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when trade cards were highly sought-after collectibles. These small pieces of art not only served as marketing tools but also provided consumers with a glimpse into the world of exotic fruits like olives. As we admire this stunning print, it's important to appreciate how it represents more than just commercial intent; it embodies cultural history and artistic craftsmanship. Through preserving such artifacts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art allows us to connect with our past and gain insights into the evolving nature of advertising and consumer culture over time.
