"Ionian Islands" is a lithograph from the *Flags of All Nations* series, produced by Allen & Ginter in 1890 as a collectible for their cigarette brand. The artwork depicts a detailed illustration of the flag of the Ionian Islands, a group of islands in the Ionian Sea off the west coast of Greece. The flag features a blue background with a red cross and a winged lion holding three arrows. The card also includes a smaller image of a variant flag of the Ionian Islands featuring a red cross with four smaller crosses in each corner. The print is a testament to the artistic style of late 19th-century chromolithography and provides a glimpse into the history of flags and their evolution through time.
