Rose-breasted Wood Robin, from the Song Birds of the World series (N42) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1890

"Rose-breasted Wood Robin" is a chromolithograph from the "Song Birds of the World" series (N42) created by Allen & Ginter in 1890. This card was included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes, a popular brand in the late 19th century. The illustration depicts a bird in flight with a vibrant rose-colored breast against a backdrop of foliage. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of the intricate chromolithographic printing techniques used in trade cards during that era.
