This chromolithograph card from the *Racing Colors of the World* series depicts F. Gebhard in jockey silks, a red jacket with yellow polka dots. The card was produced in 1888 by Allen & Ginter, a tobacco company known for its collectible trading cards, and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. The vibrant colors and detailed depiction of the jockey, holding a riding crop, make this card a unique and interesting example of 19th century commercial art.
