Connecticut and Ireland (double-printed card), from Flags of All Nations, Series 1 (N9) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1887

"Connecticut and Ireland" is a trade card from the "Flags of All Nations" series, part of a larger set of cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1887 to promote their brand of cigarettes. The card features a depiction of the flag of Connecticut with its coat of arms, which includes a ship and the motto "Qui Transtulit Sustinet" ("He who transplanted sustains"). The card is a prime example of chromolithography and serves as a visual record of both state and national identities in the late 19th century.
