From the Dogs series (N47) for Virginia Brights Cigarettes 1887 - 1891

This is a photographic trading card from the *From the Dogs series* produced by Allen & Ginter from 1887 to 1891. The card depicts a white dog, likely a Greyhound, lying down and looking toward the viewer. These cards were distributed with packs of *Virginia Brights Cigarettes* as a promotional item, and they are considered an important example of early American commercial art. The card is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
