Maine, from Flags of the States and Territories (N11) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1888

This chromolithograph, *Maine*, is part of the *Flags of the States and Territories* (N11) set produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888. It depicts the state flag of Maine against a backdrop of a snowy forest, with a team of oxen hauling logs in the foreground. The image is representative of the state's lumber industry, and the accompanying text refers to Maine as the "Pine Tree State". Allen & Ginter's cards were distributed with packs of cigarettes and were highly sought after for their colorful illustrations and historical content.
