"Peccary" is a chromolithograph from the "Quadrupeds" series, part of a set of collectible trading cards issued by Allen & Ginter in 1890 to promote their Richmond Straight Cut No. 1 Cigarettes. This particular card depicts a peccary, a wild pig-like mammal native to the Americas, standing in tall grass, with a decorative border featuring palm trees, water, and rocks. The card's small size and intricate detail make it a captivating example of late 19th-century American printmaking and the popularity of natural history collecting.
