This 1888 chromolithograph, "Oneko", is part of the *The World's Racers* series produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette brand. The image depicts a brown racehorse, Oneko, galloping across a racetrack. The jockey, clad in red and tan silks, is leaning forward, whip in hand, as the horse strides towards the finish line. The image is characteristic of the style of trade cards popular in the late 19th century, showcasing vibrant colors and fine detail. The card is a valuable piece of Americana, offering a glimpse into the world of horse racing and the culture of cigarette advertising in the 1880s.
