This chromolithograph print, part of the "World's Decorations" series for Allen & Ginter cigarettes, depicts the Order of St. Hubert, a prestigious order of chivalry established in Bavaria in 1701. The image, created in 1890, showcases the intricate design of the medal, featuring a central roundel with a depiction of St. Hubert, a gold star, and a crown. The medal hangs from a ribbon of pink and green, highlighting the visual richness and historical significance of this esteemed award.
