This chromolithograph, "Golden-Spangled Hamburgh Cock," is part of the *Prize and Game Chickens* series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1891 for their cigarette cards. The colorful image depicts a rooster with bright red, green, and brown plumage, standing near a stone fountain. The card's small size (3.8 x 7 cm) reflects its original purpose as a collectible trade card for the tobacco company. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
