"Reindeer," a chromolithograph from the "Wild Animals of the World" series created by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards in 1888, features a detailed close-up of a reindeer against a mountainous backdrop. The image highlights the reindeer's prominent antlers and its inquisitive expression, emphasizing the animal's unique features. This collectible card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the popularity of natural history imagery in the late 19th century.
