This 1887 lithograph, part of the *American Editors* series for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, depicts G.C. Goodwin, the editor of *The Salt Lake Daily Tribune*. The card is a colorful example of *Chromolithography*, a printing process used to create images with multiple colors. The left side of the card features a picturesque view of Salt Lake City, Utah, showcasing a cityscape and nearby mountains. The right side of the card features a portrait of Goodwin looking over his shoulder. The card exemplifies the *trade card*, a form of advertisement that was popular in the late 19th century.
