This 1890 lithograph, "Grand Duchy of Luxemburg," is part of the "Flags of All Nations" series, produced by Allen & Ginter, a cigarette company based in Richmond, Virginia. This trading card depicts the national flag of Luxembourg, featuring a red, white, and blue color scheme with the national coat of arms in the center. The flag is depicted in a highly stylized fashion, with exaggerated folds and a texture resembling fabric. These cards were distributed with Allen & Ginter cigarettes and became popular collector's items in the late 19th century.
