Pompadour, from the Song Birds of the World series (N23) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1890

"Pompadour" is a chromolithograph from the "Song Birds of the World" series by Allen & Ginter, created in 1890. The print depicts a vibrantly colored bird with red and white plumage perched on a branch. The bird is depicted in a naturalistic style, with attention to detail in its feathers and its pose. The card was originally part of a larger set of trading cards distributed by the Allen & Ginter cigarette company, aimed at promoting their product while also educating the public about different bird species. The card is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
