"American Light Brahma" is a chromolithograph from the "Prize and Game Chickens" series created by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards in 1891. The card features a detailed depiction of an American Light Brahma rooster, a popular breed known for its large size and distinctive plumage. The vibrant colors and meticulous detail capture the rooster's physical attributes, highlighting its white and gray feathers, red comb, and green tail feathers. The card is a testament to the artistic craftsmanship of the era and provides a glimpse into the popular fascination with chickens and animal breeds during the late 19th century.
