This chromolithograph, "Greyhound", is part of the "Dogs of the World" series created by Goodwin & Company in 1890 for Old Judge Cigarettes. The image depicts a Greyhound standing in profile, against a light background. The dog's long, lean form and elegant stance are expertly captured in the fine detail of the chromolithographic printing. This small-scale work, measuring only 3.8 x 7.1 cm, exemplifies the popular late-19th-century trend of producing collectible cards for tobacco products. Today, the artwork resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
