Orangoutang, from the Quadrupeds series (N21) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1890

This chromolithograph from Allen & Ginter's "Quadrupeds" series, titled "Orangoutang," is a vivid depiction of the primate in its natural habitat. The artist uses detailed, stippled brushstrokes to create a sense of realism, capturing the orangutan's fur, facial features, and the lush foliage surrounding it. The image, which was originally a collectible trading card given away with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, showcases the company's commitment to scientific illustration, offering a glimpse into the natural world in the late 19th century.
