"Azuvert," from the "Song Birds of the World" series, is a chromolithograph from 1890 created by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards. This bird card, part of a larger collection featuring various songbirds, showcases a vibrant blue and green bird perched on a branch with a soft, peachy-colored floral background. The card's detailed depiction and vivid colors make it a delightful example of late 19th-century natural history illustration and a collectible piece from the era of trade cards.
