"Dominique" is a chromolithograph from the "Prize and Game Chickens" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1891. The card depicts a Dominique rooster, a breed known for its distinctive gray and black plumage, in a naturalistic setting. This series of cards, originally distributed as trade cards for Allen & Ginter cigarettes, became popular collectibles for their detailed illustrations of various chicken breeds. The card's simple composition, featuring the rooster against a backdrop of foliage, emphasizes the bird's physical characteristics.
