This chromolithograph, part of the City Flags series by Allen & Ginter, depicts the flag of Edinburgh. Created in 1887, it showcases the city's historic emblem: three towers on a white field. The flag is prominently displayed against a backdrop of Edinburgh's cityscape, featuring its iconic castle and surrounding architecture. This small-scale artwork, originally included in cigarette packs, provides a glimpse into the visual representation of city pride in the late 19th century.
