This chromolithograph print, "Jessamine (Jasminum Officinale)," was created by Goodwin & Company in 1890 as part of the "Flowers" series for Old Judge Cigarettes. The artwork depicts a delicate arrangement of white Jessamine blossoms with green leaves, arranged against a subtly patterned background. This type of botanical illustration was popular during the Victorian era, where flower symbolism played a significant role in artistic representation. The small size of the print reflects its intended function as a collectible trading card, likely distributed with cigarettes.
