Snowdrop (Galanthus Nivalis), from the Flowers series for Old Judge Cigarettes 1890

This chromolithograph, part of the "Flowers" series for Old Judge Cigarettes, depicts a cluster of snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) against a blue and white sky. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the flowers are characteristic of the late 19th-century aesthetic, a time when botanical illustrations were highly valued. The piece, measuring 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches, is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Goodwin & Company, a prolific American art studio, created this card in 1890. This piece is considered a fine example of chromolithography and botanical illustration, showcasing the beauty of nature through detailed depictions of flora.
