This chromolithograph, titled "Marten," is part of the *Quadrupeds* series, a collection of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1890. The image depicts a marten perched on a tree branch in a woodland setting, highlighting its natural habitat. The card showcases the intricate details of the animal's fur and features a picturesque landscape in the background. These cards were distributed with packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes and served as a popular form of collectible imagery in the late 19th century.
