"Snow Bunting" is a chromolithograph from the "Birds of America" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888. This small, detailed card features a realistic depiction of a snow bunting perched on a snow-covered branch. The card, part of a set distributed with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, showcases the beauty of nature and highlights the company's brand. The image is set against a background of a distant city with a church steeple, showcasing the integration of nature and human elements, a common theme in ornithological artwork of the period.
