This chromolithograph, part of the “Natives in Costume” series, was produced by Allen & Ginter as a collectible for their cigarette brands. The artwork depicts an Englishman in traditional attire. The man is standing on a staircase, his right hand holding a riding crop, and the illustration is likely meant to represent the country's sporting traditions. Created in the late 19th century, these cards were popular with collectors and provide a glimpse into the fashion and hobbies of the era. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this card, a testament to its historical and cultural significance.
