Joseph Pulitzer, The New York World, from the American Editors series (N35) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1887

This chromolithograph, created in 1887 by Allen & Ginter, features a portrait of Joseph Pulitzer, the prominent newspaper publisher who founded the *New York World*. The card was part of a larger series of "American Editors" cards produced by Allen & Ginter, a tobacco company that distributed the cards with their cigarette packs. The colorful background of the card depicts Central Park in New York City, showcasing a tranquil scene of a lake, trees, and a sunset sky. This card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the cultural significance of journalism and the power of print media in the late 19th century.
