This 1890 chromolithograph, titled "Bighorn" from the "Quadrupeds" series for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, depicts a bighorn sheep standing on a rocky mountain ledge, its impressive horns curving majestically. The image is likely from a set of trading cards that were given away with packs of cigarettes, a common practice in the late 19th century. The image features the Allen & Ginter logo in the lower left, indicating its intended use as a marketing tool. The graphic, colorful style of the artwork is typical of the "trade card" genre, aiming to capture the attention of potential customers.
