Magnetizer, from The World's Racers series (N32) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

"Magnetizer," a chromolithograph from the "The World's Racers" series of trading cards created by Allen & Ginter, depicts a thoroughbred racehorse in profile. The horse, which appears to be standing at attention, is a reddish-brown color. It is positioned against a simple backdrop of a grassy field, a fence, and a distant building. The card includes the Allen & Ginter logo and a caption that reads, "Allen & Ginter's Cigarettes. Richmond, Virginia." These trading cards, which were given away with packs of cigarettes, are examples of early Americana and represent a trend of using the medium of trading cards for advertising in the 19th century.
