EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pouter Pigeon, from the Birds of America series (N4) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, 1888" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century America. The image showcases a magnificent brown Pouter Pigeon, its plumage beautifully captured in lithograph form. With its puffed-out chest and striking white feathers contrasting against the background, this bird exudes an air of elegance and grace. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this domesticated creature. Its captive nature is evident as it stands within a cage, yet there's something unusual about this particular pigeon that draws our attention. Perhaps it's the way it seems to embody both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. As we gaze at this lithotint masterpiece, we are transported to a time when cigarette cards were cherished collectibles rather than mere advertisements. This trade card by Allen & Ginter not only serves as a visual delight but also reflects the rich heritage art associated with wildlife exploration during that era. Displayed in museums like The Met today, such prints remind us of our deep connection with nature and how humans have long been fascinated by creatures big and small. Let this image serve as a reminder of the beauty found in unexpected places – even within caged birds – urging us to appreciate and protect our diverse wildlife for generations to come.
