Leghorn, from the City Flags series (N6) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1887

This chromolithograph card from the "City Flags" series, created by Allen & Ginter in 1887, depicts the flag of Leghorn, Italy, with a red cross and four red circles on a white background. The card includes a small image of the city's skyline and a harbor with ships. These cards were given away as promotional items with Allen & Ginter brand cigarettes, and are now collected as pieces of historical ephemera and examples of early American chromolithography. The visual style of the piece is typical of the late 19th-century, using a combination of vibrant colors and detailed illustrations.
