"Queen of Sweden" is a lithograph from the "World's Sovereigns" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1889 for their brand of cigarettes. The card depicts a bust portrait of Queen Sophia of Sweden, wearing a crown and pearls, against a red background with ornate gold detailing. These cards were distributed with Allen & Ginter's cigarettes and were highly sought after by collectors, making them a popular and significant piece of Americana. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY, houses this piece.
