As some of you may recall, I work at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. There are definitely things at work where I’m reminded of our terrific hobby. With that in mind, I wanted to take a moment to share this photograph. Apologies for the glare. This is a picture of Lewis Ginter at the Allen and Ginter factory here in Richmond, Virginia. I looked on his desk in the photo, hoping to see some tobacco cards, but I don’t see anything.
