The Lion, from The World's Racers series (N32) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

"The Lion" is a lithograph from the "The World's Racers" series of trade cards produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarettes. The card depicts a chestnut thoroughbred racehorse, a popular breed during the late 19th century, with a jockey in a striped jersey. The card uses a stipple-like style and features a simple background that emphasizes the horse and jockey. This card was originally given away with cigarette packs to promote Allen & Ginter cigarettes, and it now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
