This 1890 chromolithograph, part of the “Flags of All Nations” series, depicts the flag of New South Wales, Australia. The artwork, created by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette brand, features a detailed rendering of the flag, with a prominent crown at the top. The image is contained within an oval frame decorated with an intricate floral pattern. The bold text at the bottom identifies the depicted nation and the cigarette brand, making this a collectible piece associated with 19th-century Americana, advertising, and national symbolism.
