"Yellow Muscat" is a chromolithograph from the *Fruits* series (N12) produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette brands in 1891. The card depicts a young girl in a pink dress, holding a basket of grapes while looking at a caged canary. This type of collectible card was popular in the late 19th century, often featuring images of fruits, flowers, and other natural subjects. They were included in packs of cigarettes as a marketing tool, similar to modern trading cards. The chromolithographic printing process was used to create these cards, allowing for vibrant colors and detailed imagery.
