"Patsey Kerrigan, Pugilist" is a chromolithograph trading card from the "World's Champions, Second Series (N43)" set produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888. The card features a portrait of the boxer Patsey Kerrigan, who is depicted with his arms crossed and a serious expression. The right side of the card displays a hand holding a pair of dumbbells, along with a patriotic backdrop of the American and British flags. These cards were included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes. The card is a valuable example of late 19th-century printmaking and sports memorabilia.
