"Indiana, from Flags of the States and Territories (N11)" is a chromolithograph trading card produced in 1888 by Allen & Ginter, a prominent tobacco company. The card depicts a stylized version of the Indiana state flag, featuring the state seal with its iconic image of a bison, a farmer, and a sunrise. Below the flag, a view of the Indiana Statehouse is presented, showcasing the architectural grandeur of the state capital building. This card was part of a larger series, "Flags of the States and Territories," issued as promotional material for Allen & Ginter cigarettes. The series, popular in the late 19th century, offered collectors a glimpse into the diverse flags and symbols of the American states and territories.
