This chromolithograph, "Orange," is part of the "Fruits" series (N12) created by Allen & Ginter in 1891 for their cigarette brand. The image depicts a young girl holding a peeled orange, a common theme in Victorian art, signifying innocence and purity. The print is a prime example of the artistic style of the time, featuring a soft palette and detailed rendering of the girl's features and clothing. These small cards were given away with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, popularizing the imagery of fruits and everyday life.
