"Senegal Antelope" is a chromolithograph from the "Wild Animals of the World" series created by Allen & Ginter in 1888 for their cigarette cards. The card depicts a close-up portrait of the antelope's head, showcasing its long, spiraled horns and the animal's unique coloring. This card is a prime example of the chromolithographic printing process, a popular technique during the late 19th century. The card's small size makes it a charming and collectible piece of natural history.
