Cardinal Grosbeak Spinning Ornament
Metropolitan Museum of Art Christmas ornaments.
In 1888, the Virginia-based tobacco company Allen & Ginter issued a series of 50 trade cards depicting various avian species. This cardinal, delicately perched on a rotating bough, nods to a commercial lithograph from that series titled Birds of America, which was designed to promote Allen & Ginter Brand Cigarettes.
