Step back in time with these beautifully reproduced “Birds of America” (Series N4) trade cards, originally issued in 1888 by Allen & Ginter to promote their Brand Cigarettes. This historic series features 50 unique bird illustrations, celebrating the rich diversity of American avian life in the late 19th century.
Each greeting card pack includes 10 cards featuring one design from the series. Due to print-on-demand production limitations, each pack contains 10 identical cards (one bird design per pack) rather than a mixed assortment. To collect multiple bird species from the full 50-card series, simply select additional designs and order separate packs.
These vintage-inspired cards make a wonderful addition for bird enthusiasts, history lovers, and collectors of classic ephemera. Perfect for framing, gifting, scrapbooking, or sending as distinctive correspondence, they offer a tangible connection to the artistry and ornithological curiosity of the 1880s.
While original 1888 packaging is not included, each design faithfully celebrates the charm and historical significance of Allen & Ginter’s iconic series.
Note: Each order includes one pack of 10 identical cards featuring a single selected design.
