This chromolithograph, part of the *Prize and Game Chickens* series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1891, depicts a “White-Faced Black Spanish Cock.” These cards were distributed with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, a popular brand in the late 19th century. The card features a detailed depiction of a rooster, showcasing its distinctive white face and black plumage. The image is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the bird's feathers, comb, and wattles. The use of vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes contributes to the overall realism of the piece.
