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

"Pontico," a chromolithograph from the "World's Racers" series, was printed in 1888 by Allen & Ginter as a trade card for their cigarettes. The image depicts a thoroughbred racehorse named Pontico with a jockey in the saddle. It is a classic example of 19th-century chromolithographic printing, a process used to create colorful images using multiple printing plates. The card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
