Outstanding full-color advertising poster (13.25 x 30 inches, visible dimensions) for the N4 ''Birds of America'' set issued by Allen & Ginter in circa 1888. Produced by ''Geo. S. Harris & Sons Phila., New York & Chicago'' as noted in print along the base. The banner, which advertises for Richmond Straight Cut No. 1 and Virginia Brights Cigarettes, pictures all fifty cards offered in the set. Catalogued G3 in the original American Card Catalog, this extremely rare tobacco banner is one of the ACC's most highly valued items. In the 1930s Jefferson Burdick assigned it a value of $10 at a time when the most valuable of all cards, the T206 Honus Wagner, was valued at a very impressive $50. These banners were produced by tobacco companies for display in tobacco stores to promote their particular brands and card issues. They are perhaps the most finely produced of all advertising displays relating to card collecting and are considered by many to be the greatest prizes of all nineteenth-century tobacco-card collecting. The offered banner displays numerous creases and light rippling. The colors remain bright and crisp. Technically in Fair condition but Excellent in its overall appearance. Matted and framed - Value: 200 to 2000
