This chromolithograph, "Lynx," was part of the "Quadrupeds" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1890 as a trade card to promote their Richmond Straight Cut cigarettes. The card features a realistic depiction of a lynx, a wild cat known for its tufted ears and short tail. The image, which is printed on a small card, showcases the artistic style of the late 19th century and captures the intricate details of the animal's anatomy, making it a charming and informative collectible for natural history enthusiasts.
