"George Abel, The Baltimore Sun," is a lithograph from the *American Editors series* produced by Allen & Ginter in 1887 for their cigarette brand. It depicts a portrait of George Abel, an editor for the Baltimore Sun newspaper, in a realistic style. This small-scale print is part of a larger collection of trading cards distributed with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, now considered examples of early American ephemera. The work is currently on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
