This chromolithograph, part of the "World's Sovereigns" series, depicts Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. Created in 1889 by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards, the image showcases the Queen wearing a crown and ornate jewelry. The card features a gold-colored border and a green background, adorned with flowers and intricate patterns. The use of chromolithography allows for a vibrant and detailed depiction of the Queen, showcasing her regal attire and highlighting the finer details of her jewelry. These cards, distributed with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, served as a popular form of collectible in the late 19th century.
