This chromolithograph, part of the “Dogs of the World” series for Old Judge Cigarettes, depicts an Irish Terrier, a breed known for its distinctive wiry coat and spirited personality. Created by Goodwin & Company in 1890, the print showcases the dog in profile, standing against a simple, stippled background. The image highlights the breed’s characteristic red coat, showcasing the artist’s attention to detail in capturing the texture of the terrier's fur. The small size of the print reflects its intended use as a collectible trading card. The inclusion of the breed’s name in the print further underscores its role as a popular canine subject in 19th-century popular culture.
