This trade card, titled "New Hampshire," is part of the "Flags of the States and Territories (N11)" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888 to promote their brand of cigarettes. The card features a depiction of the New Hampshire state flag, displaying a ship sailing into a sunrise with the words "New Hampshire" on a ribbon below. The imagery symbolizes the state's maritime history and nickname, "The Granite State," which is printed at the bottom of the card. These trade cards were popular collector's items in the late 19th century and served as a form of early advertising.
