"American White Egret" is a chromolithograph from the "Game Birds" series, printed in 1889 by Allen & Ginter to be included in their cigarette packs. The artwork depicts a white egret in a natural setting, with a detailed focus on its plumage and posture. This small, highly-detailed image is typical of the "trade card" style popular during this period. The image is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, New York.
