Reindeer, from Quadrupeds series (N41) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1890

"Reindeer" is a chromolithograph from the "Quadrupeds" series, produced by Allen & Ginter in 1890 as a trade card for their Richmond Straight Cut No 1 Cigarettes. The image depicts a reindeer in a snowy landscape, with a hunter aiming a rifle in the top half of the card. This trade card is a prime example of 19th-century natural history illustrations, showcasing the growing interest in scientific and natural knowledge at the time. The card is a beautiful example of chromolithography and provides a glimpse into the culture of advertising and consumerism during the late 19th century.
