This chromolithograph, part of the "Wild Animals of the World" series created by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards, depicts a close-up of a wild boar's head. The image, created in 1888, showcases the animal's distinctive features - its long, sharp tusks and bristly fur. This card, like many others in the series, was likely intended to both entertain and educate consumers about the natural world. The vivid colors and detailed rendering of the boar create a realistic and engaging depiction of this powerful creature.
