"Currants" is a chromolithograph from the "Fruits" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1891. The card depicts a young girl in a white dress picking red currants from a bush. The image is characterized by a stippled style, giving the artwork a textured, almost three-dimensional feel. This series of cards was originally created to be given away with Allen & Ginter cigarettes and is now considered a valuable piece of Americana. The delicate details and charming imagery make this card a popular collectible among art enthusiasts and vintage card collectors.
