This colorful lithograph, part of the "Flags of All Nations" series, depicts the flag of Heligoland, a German island in the North Sea. The artwork, produced by Allen & Ginter, a company known for its cigarette cards, features a detailed rendering of the flag, which is flown from a pole against a blue background. The Heligoland flag, with its green, red, and white stripes, is prominently displayed along with the company's name, adding a touch of advertisement to this historical piece.
