This chromolithograph, part of the "Quadrupeds" series produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards in 1890, depicts a rhinoceros in its natural habitat. The image is a vivid portrayal of the animal, showcasing its thick skin, powerful legs, and distinctive horn. The use of bright colors and detailed rendering makes this a captivating example of late 19th-century natural history illustration. The card's small size, designed for inclusion in cigarette packs, is a testament to the popularity of these collectible cards during that era.
