Carey, from The World's Racers series (N32) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

"Carey," from the "World's Racers" series is a chromolithograph trading card produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette brand in 1888. The card depicts a jockey riding a chestnut horse, in full stride, across a grassy field. The card is part of a larger series that celebrated famous racehorses, showcasing the popularity of horse racing and the use of trading cards for advertising in late 19th century America. This card, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a colorful example of early American printmaking, and a valuable historical artifact for horse racing enthusiasts and collectors of ephemera.
