"Bolivia" is a lithograph from the "Flags of All Nations" series, printed in 1887 by Allen & Ginter as a collectible card for their cigarette brand. The card depicts a detailed rendition of the Bolivian flag against a background of a calm river and flowers. The flag is rendered with precision, displaying its distinctive colors of red, yellow, and green with the coat of arms prominently featured. This print is a small but important piece in documenting the history of flag design and the influence of advertising on art.
