"Wild Boar" is a chromolithograph from the *Animals of the World* series issued by Abdul Cigarettes in 1881. The image depicts a wild boar in a naturalistic setting, running through a forest with its tusks prominently displayed. This particular card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, measuring 1 5/8 × 2 3/4 inches.

They showcased a variety of animal species, contributing to the growing interest in natural history and the world around us during this period.
