This chromolithograph, part of the "Dogs of the World" series for Old Judge Cigarettes, was created by Goodwin & Company in 1890 and features a "Sheep Dog or Collie" standing in profile against a light background. The image depicts the rough-coated variety of the breed, known for its thick, long fur. This print, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an example of the popular trend of collectible cigarette cards that flourished in the late 19th century.
