"Sahara," a lithograph from the "Types of All Nations" series, is a small-format work of art produced by Allen & Ginter in 1889. It depicts a man from the Sahara Desert wearing traditional clothing and a turban. The artwork's detail and use of color evoke a sense of cultural identity and the rich history of the region. This piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was originally intended to be included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes, showcasing the company's fascination with global cultures.
