This 1890 lithograph by Allen & Ginter depicts the Order of the Dannebrog, a Danish order of chivalry, as part of their "World's Decorations" series of trading cards. The card features a detailed illustration of the medal, including its red and white ribbon, a crown, and a cross with the inscription "Gud og Konge" (God and King) on it. The intricate design showcases the card's connection to the "World's Decorations" series, a collection of trading cards issued by the American tobacco company Allen & Ginter to promote their cigarettes, and is now a popular collectible.
