Bohemia, from Flags of All Nations, Series 2 (N10) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1890

This colorful lithograph, "Bohemia," from the "Flags of All Nations" series, was created by Allen & Ginter in 1890 as a trade card for their cigarette brand. The image features a stylized depiction of the Bohemian flag, along with its coat of arms, a silver lion on a red background, surrounded by a decorative border. The card showcases the company's marketing strategy of combining national pride with their product. The card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, provides a glimpse into the visual culture and advertising techniques of the late 19th century.
