This chromolithograph, "Transvaal," is part of the "Flags of All Nations" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1890. The card depicts the flag of the Transvaal, a former South African republic, with a white flag featuring a black cross and a smaller red flag with six white stars. The design is set against a landscape of mountains and palm trees, with the Allen & Ginter logo at the bottom. These cards were distributed as part of a marketing campaign for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, demonstrating the popular appeal of collecting and learning about flags in the late 19th century.
