This colorful card is part of a series of cigarette cards called "City Flags" published by the American tobacco company Allen & Ginter as part of their advertising campaign. These cards are known for their detailed illustrations and were popular collectibles in the late 19th century. The artwork is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
