This chromolithograph, "White Plymouth Rock," was created by Allen & Ginter in 1891 as part of their "Prize and Game Chickens" series for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes. The image depicts a white Plymouth Rock rooster standing in a field with a barn in the background. The rooster is depicted in a realistic style with detailed feathers and a bright red comb. The image was likely intended to appeal to the growing interest in poultry breeding at the time, and it serves as a visual record of the white Plymouth Rock breed. The image is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
