This chromolithograph, part of the "City Flags" series for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, depicts the flag of Guatemala as it appeared in 1887. The flag is a tricolor of red, white, and blue, with a central eagle, and features a stylized cityscape and palm trees below. The artwork is typical of the era, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, and was distributed as a collectible trading card in cigarette packs, highlighting the history of the brand. It is now held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
