This 1890 chromolithograph by Allen & Ginter depicts a river otter, part of their "Quadrupeds" series of trading cards. These cards, issued with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, were highly popular in the late 19th century. The image showcases the otter's sleek, brown fur and its ability to swim and hunt. The vibrant colors and detailed drawing bring this animal to life, capturing its grace and agility in its natural habitat.
