"Dromedary" is a lithograph from the "Quadrupeds" series of trade cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1890. The colorful image depicts a dromedary, a one-humped camel, walking alongside a man in a desert landscape. The scene also features a pair of vultures flying overhead, palm trees, and the pyramids in the distance. These trade cards were distributed with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, making them valuable collectibles today. The vibrant colors and detailed illustrations of the "Quadrupeds" series made them popular amongst cigarette smokers and collectors alike.
