Hawaiian Islands, from Flags of All Nations, Series 1 (N9) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1887

This colorful lithograph from 1887, part of the "Flags of All Nations" series by Allen & Ginter, depicts the Hawaiian Islands' flag. The flag, waving proudly against a light blue sky, features eight horizontal stripes of red, white, and blue, along with the Union Jack in the canton. The image is completed with a flock of birds flying overhead and the text "Hawaiian Islands" below, making it an engaging piece of Americana. The artwork, part of a larger set, was originally printed on cigarette cards as a marketing tool, showcasing the company's reach across the globe.
