This chromolithograph, part of the *Song Birds of the World* series created for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, depicts a Pine Grosbeak, a vibrantly colored bird native to North America. Printed in 1890, this card showcases the bird in its natural habitat, perched on a branch of a pine tree. The detailed illustration captures the Grosbeak's bright red plumage and black wing markings, and the use of delicate colors and intricate details creates a captivating scene. These collectible cards, once given away with cigarette packs, remain popular with collectors today.
