In an era when fake news wasn't as prevalent, Allen & Ginter issued the American Editors set in two formats--small and large. The small were cataloged as the first Allen & Ginter set or N1 and the oversized format were cataloged as N35. Both series are great indicators of the power of the press in the late 1880's/early 1890's, picturing real life publishers or editors of many of the most prominent papers of the day. With subjects like Pulitzer, A.H. Belo, George Childs, Charles Dana and Whitelaw Reid and representing papers from New York, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia and other important cities of the U.S., the set is a popular set to collect.
This pair of N35 Allen & Ginter American Editors cards includes the following subjects: #3 John Arkins (Crease and Pinhole) and George Bleistein (solid EX to EXMT card).
