Cranberry, from the Fruits series (N12) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1891

"Cranberry," from the *Fruits series* (N12) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, is a charming chromolithograph from 1891. The card features a young girl in a large, white bonnet, holding a sprig of cranberries. This card, along with others in the *Fruits series*, were given away as premiums with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, a popular brand of the late 19th century. The colorful and whimsical imagery of these cards, such as the intricate detail in the girl's lace and the realistic depiction of the cranberry branch, made them highly sought-after collectibles. The card is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
