"Tulip (Tulipa Gesneriana)" is a chromolithographic print from the "Flowers" series created for Old Judge Cigarettes in 1890 by Goodwin & Company. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a close-up view of a blooming tulip, capturing its vibrant yellow and red hues against a textured, green background. This small-scale print, measuring 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches, exemplifies the popular trend of using botanical illustrations to promote consumer goods during the late 19th century.
