The Met Store Ornaments*Birds of America Hand-Painted Glass Ornament Set

Art ornaments celebrating The Met collection.

This charming trio pays tribute to three colorful commercial prints in The Met’s famed Jefferson R. Burdick Collection of American ephemera. Two of the lithographs—Cardinal Grosbeak and Snow Bird—belong to a promotional series issued in 1888 by the Virginia-based tobacco company Allen & Ginter (American). Chickadee, from 1941, was included in New York author John H. Eggers’s (American) eponymous Eggers Bird Booklets.
