St. Olaf, Norway, from the World's Decorations series (N30) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1890

This trade card from the "World's Decorations" series, produced by Allen & Ginter in 1890, depicts the St. Olaf Order, a Norwegian order of chivalry. The card features a detailed illustration of the Order's insignia, including a gold cross with a central medallion featuring a red lion, surrounded by a blue ring and surmounted by a crown. The card is a prime example of late 19th-century printmaking and showcases the intricate details of the Order's design. The card was likely given to consumers as part of a promotional campaign for Allen & Ginter cigarettes. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this piece of ephemera in their collection.
