This chromolithograph, "Boar," is part of the "Quadrupeds" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1890 for their cigarette cards. The image features a detailed depiction of a boar running through a forest, likely depicting a hunting scene. The card's format is typical of the era, with a small image accompanied by the name of the animal and an advertisement for Allen & Ginter's "Richmond Straight Cut" cigarettes. The image is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcasing the artistic style and cultural context of late 19th-century America.
