"Great Dane", a chromolithograph from the "Dogs of the World" series for Old Judge Cigarettes, depicts a brindle Great Dane standing against a simple background. Created by Goodwin & Company in 1890, this collectible card showcases the intricate details of the breed, capturing its muscular build and striking markings. The card is a prime example of trade cards, popular in the late 19th century, used to advertise products and often featuring animals, landscapes, or historical scenes.
