Cherries, from the Fruits series (N12) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1891

"Cherries" is a chromolithograph from the "Fruits" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1891 for their cigarette brand. The artwork features a young girl in a pink dress and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with cherries, holding a cherry to her ear. The image's vibrant colors and detailed rendering are characteristic of chromolithography, a printing process popular in the late 19th century. These cards were included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes, making them highly collectible and providing a glimpse into the marketing strategies of the era.
