"Geraldine," from the "The World's Racers" series, is a chromolithograph trading card created in 1888 by Allen & Ginter, a company best known for their tobacco products. The card depicts a racehorse with a jockey mounted, likely on a racetrack. The image was created as a collectible promotional item for Allen & Ginter's cigarettes, as indicated by the caption at the top of the card. This card is currently part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
