EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant Yellow Muscat 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 created to promote Allen & Ginter brand cigarettes. The intricate details and vivid colors captured in this print transport viewers back to the late 19th century when these trade cards were highly sought after collectibles. The Yellow Muscat grape variety takes center stage, radiating its golden hue against a backdrop of lush green leaves. Its succulent appearance is so lifelike that one can almost taste the sweetness on their tongue. As an artifact from a bygone era, this trade card offers us a glimpse into the world of advertising and consumer culture at the turn of the century. It serves as a reminder that even then, companies like Allen & Ginter recognized the power of visual imagery in capturing consumers' attention. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Fine Art Storehouse, this print invites art enthusiasts and history buffs alike to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It stands as a testament to how art can transcend time and continue to captivate audiences long after it was first created.
