Sultan Fowl, from the Prize and Game Chickens series (N20) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1891

This chromolithograph, created in 1891 by Allen & Ginter for their “Prize and Game Chickens” series, depicts a Sultan Fowl. The colorful illustration, originally produced for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, showcases the proud stance and distinctive features of the Sultan Fowl breed, which is known for its upright crest and long, flowing tail feathers. The image was printed on a small card, typical of the trading cards that were popular during this era. Today, the card can be found in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
