"Andalusian Cock" is a chromolithograph from the "Prize and Game Chickens" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1891. The card depicts a vibrant Andalusian rooster with a red comb and wattles, standing on a patch of ground. The rooster's plumage is detailed in shades of gray, black, and white, and the background is a simple wash of green and blue. These cards, originally included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes, are considered early examples of American trade cards and are highly sought after by collectors today.
