Derbyshire Red Cap, from the Prize and Game Chickens series (N20) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1891

"Derbyshire Red Cap" is a chromolithograph from the *Prize and Game Chickens* series created by Allen & Ginter in 1891 to be included in cigarette packs. The image features a vibrantly colored rooster with a red comb and a long, flowing tail. The illustration is set in a rural scene, with a shovel leaning against a woven basket in the background. The card is a fine example of late 19th-century chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the creation of colorful images. This particular card is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
