This lithograph, titled "Toy Spaniel", is part of the "Dogs of the World" series created by Goodwin & Company for Old Judge Cigarettes in 1890. The artwork depicts a small, white and brown spaniel dog, with long, reddish-brown fur, standing on a pale background. The detail in the dog's fur and the subtle texture of the background creates a realistic and charming portrayal of the breed. This print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a great example of the popular cigarette card genre from the late 19th century, which often featured animals and other subjects to promote tobacco products.
