"Malaga Grapes" is a chromolithograph from the "Fruits" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1891. The card depicts a young girl holding a bunch of Malaga grapes above her head. The image is a classic example of the "trade card" style, often featuring a charming or whimsical image along with a product or brand name. These cards were popular in the late 19th century, with some finding their way into public and private collections today.
