Stag, from the Wild Animals of the World series (N25) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

This chromolithograph, titled "Stag" from the "Wild Animals of the World" series, is a small-format print produced in 1888 by Allen & Ginter as a collectible trading card for their cigarette brand. The image depicts a stag, or male deer, with a prominent set of antlers, set against a background of stylized foliage. These cards were distributed with packs of cigarettes, reflecting a popular trend in the late 19th century to use ephemera as promotional materials. The "Stag" card is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
