"Mexican Hairless," a chromolithograph from the *Dogs of the World* series for Old Judge Cigarettes, depicts a hairless dog standing on a light beige background. The image is rendered with a stippled effect and shows the dog's detailed anatomy with a focus on its smooth skin, small ears, and long tail. This collectible card, created by Goodwin & Company in 1890, exemplifies the popularity of canine imagery in late 19th-century American advertising. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, NY.
