"Canada Grouse," from the *Game Birds* series, is a chromolithograph trading card created by Allen & Ginter in the late 19th century. This particular card features a detailed illustration of a Canada grouse, a type of bird native to North America, set against a backdrop of a landscape with two figures hunting. The card was part of a larger series of collectible cards that were distributed with packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes. These cards were popular in the 19th century, and many examples survive today, often found in museums and private collections.
