Sir Dixon, from The World's Racers series (N32) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

"Sir Dixon" is a chromolithograph from the "World's Racers" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888 for their cigarette brand. The image depicts a thoroughbred racehorse in full stride, with a jockey in riding gear. It was printed as a collectible card to be included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes, and exemplifies the popularity of horse racing in the late 19th century. This print is a fine example of the chromolithographic technique used in the 19th century, where multiple colors are layered to create a realistic and vibrant image. The card is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
