"Pomegranate" is a chromolithograph from the "Fruits" series (N12) created in 1891 by Allen & Ginter, known for their trading cards distributed with their cigarette brands. This colorful card depicts a young girl in a pink dress, standing next to a table with a plate of pomegranates and oranges. The card is an example of the popular "trade card" format, often used in the late 19th century for advertising and collecting.
