This 1890 chromolithograph, "Baden" from the series *Flags of All Nations*, depicts the national flag of the Grand Duchy of Baden. The flag features a red and yellow field, as well as a red stripe with a red dragon on a field of white. This design was part of a set of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter, a company known for its tobacco products, to be given away with purchases of Allen & Ginter cigarettes. The card, measuring 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches, is currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
