This is a color lithograph from a series of trading cards produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1888. The card depicts the Coat of Arms of Peru and is part of their "Rulers, Flags, and Coats of Arms" series. The card depicts a traditional heraldic shield, divided into four quadrants. The top left quadrant displays a brown llama on a blue background. The top right quadrant shows a green tree on a white background. The bottom quadrant depicts a brown cornucopia, spilling out golden seeds on a red background. This card provides an interesting glimpse into the popular culture and advertising practices of the late 19th century.
