"Pet Pug" is a chromolithograph from the *Household Pets* series, created by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1891. The image depicts a woman in a red dress and feathered hat holding a pug dog. It was likely part of a larger set of cards distributed to the public as advertising material. This piece is a fine example of Victorian-era lithography, showcasing vibrant colors and delicate details, and provides a glimpse into the popular pet culture of the time. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses the artwork.
