EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph captures the essence of a Hyena, part of the Quadrupeds series (N41) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes. Created in 1890 by Allen & Ginter, an American company renowned for its exquisite cigarette cards, this print showcases the incredible diversity of wildlife found in the United States. The Hyena depicted here exudes both power and curiosity as it gazes directly at the viewer. Its distinctive features are meticulously rendered through lithography, a printing technique that beautifully captures every detail and texture. The commercial colour lithograph brings to life the hyena's unique markings and fur with remarkable accuracy. As a scavenger known for its cunning nature, this hyena symbolizes both resilience and adaptability. It serves as a reminder of America's rich natural history and diverse animal kingdom during the late nineteenth century when these prints were highly sought after by collectors. This lithotint is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a testament to scientific exploration during that era. Through meticulous printing techniques, Allen & Ginter successfully brought attention to these fascinating creatures while providing educational value to their customers. Today, this print stands as an important piece of heritage art that allows us to appreciate both the beauty and significance of wildlife preservation.
