Haddock, from the Fish from American Waters series (N8) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1889

"Haddock" is a chromolithograph print from the "Fish from American Waters" series created by Allen & Ginter in 1889. These cards were originally included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes. The detailed illustration depicts a haddock fish swimming against a subtle blue and white background, showcasing its scales, fins, and distinctive dark spot near its head. This small card, measuring only 1 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches, offers a glimpse into the popular culture of the late 19th century, where scientific illustrations were often found on everyday items. Today, "Haddock" is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, preserving a piece of Americana.
