The N39 Allen & Ginter Fish From American Waters set is the (50) card set that is the counterpart to the smaller N8 Allen & Ginter set of the same name. Like all the large format Allen & Ginter sets, the set was issued with Richmond Straight Cut cigarettes and features the artwork from the smaller counterpart sets against a backdrop of ornate lithographed scenes. The N39 set features fish that were commonly found in American waterways during the end of the 19th century and were a popular subject as the artwork from the original N8 Fish set was used on many other sets from other tobacco companies both in the United States and abroad, even as late as the early 20th century.

This single N39 Allen & Ginter Fish From American Waters is of the subject "Toadfish" that is in VG condition with a crease across the upper center.
