"Prince D'Arenberg" is a chromolithograph card from the "Racing Colors of the World" series, printed by Allen & Ginter in 1888. This series featured colorful depictions of jockeys in their racing silks, accompanied by their names, designed to be included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes. The card depicts a jockey in a yellow and red striped jacket, holding a riding crop, creating a visual snapshot of the equestrian world popular during the late 19th century. The image is a prime example of the chromolithograph technique, a printing method that created vibrant and detailed images often found on trade cards of the time.
