Chamois, from Quadrupeds series (N41) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1890

"Chamois" is a chromolithograph card from the "Quadrupeds" series printed by Allen & Ginter in 1890. The card depicts a Chamois standing on a rock with a mountain background. To the left, a white flower, likely an Edelweiss, blooms against a blue sky. The right side of the card features a hunter with a rifle, offering a glimpse into the hunting culture of the time. These cards were originally included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes, offering a glimpse into the history of tobacco advertising and collectible trading cards. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the chromolithography make this a charming example of late 19th-century printing.
