This 1890 lithograph by Allen & Ginter is part of the "World's Decorations" series of trade cards, created for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes. It depicts the Order of Saint Hubert, a Bavarian order of chivalry, with its intricate design featuring a star, crown and pink and green ribbon. The card has a cream background and intricate borders around the edges, adding a touch of ornate detail. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a prime example of the burgeoning trade card genre of the late 19th century.
