Persian Greyhound, from the Dogs of the World series for Old Judge Cigarettes 1890

"Persian Greyhound" is a chromolithograph from the "Dogs of the World" series created by Goodwin & Company in 1890 for Old Judge Cigarettes. The print features a detailed illustration of a Persian Greyhound standing in a simple pose, with a delicate background. This piece is a prime example of the popular "trade card" genre of the late 19th century, used to advertise goods and create a collectible element for consumers. The chromolithographic technique, employing multiple color printing, allows for rich and vibrant hues in the dog's markings and the subtle background. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this small-scale piece, measuring only 3.8 by 7.1 cm.
