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

"Strawberries" is a colorful lithograph from the *Fruits* series created by Allen & Ginter in 1891 for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands. The image depicts a young girl sitting in a high chair, about to eat a strawberry from a spoon while her cat sits patiently beside her. The bowl of strawberries is overturned on the floor spilling its contents. The scene is rendered in a charming and slightly whimsical style, capturing a simple and relatable moment of childhood. This charming trade card is a great example of the popular collectible genre of the late 19th century.
