"Fox" is a chromolithograph card from the "Quadrupeds" series, created in 1890 by Allen & Ginter to be included in their cigarette packs. The card features a detailed depiction of a red fox, depicted in a realistic style, walking through a woodland setting. It is part of a larger series of cards, each depicting a different animal, that were popular collector’s items in the late 19th century. The card is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
