"Ibex" is a chromolithograph from the "Wild Animals of the World" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888 to promote their brand of cigarettes. This particular card depicts an Ibex, a wild goat known for its long, curved horns. The image, rendered in a detailed and realistic style, is a classic example of natural history illustration. The card's small size and vibrant colors make it an engaging piece of ephemera for collectors and those interested in natural history. You can see this piece at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
