"Bloodhound" is a chromolithograph from the "Dogs of the World" series created by Goodwin & Company in 1890 to advertise Old Judge Cigarettes. This small-format print, measuring 3.8 x 7.1 cm, features a detailed depiction of a Bloodhound, known for its keen sense of smell and use in tracking. The artwork showcases the dog's distinctive physical characteristics, including its long, drooping ears, wrinkled face, and powerful build. The print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a prime example of the use of visual art for commercial purposes during the late 19th century.
