"Bow and Arrow" is a chromolithograph from the "Arms of All Nations" series, created by Allen & Ginter in 1887. The card features a pair of figures, likely a couple, in traditional attire, wielding bows and arrows, suggesting a scene of archery. The artwork, produced as a collectible for Allen & Ginter cigarettes, showcases the company's branding in the bottom section of the card. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the intricate detail and vibrant color characteristic of chromolithographs from this era.
