"Mockingbird" is a chromolithograph from the "Birds of America" series created by Allen & Ginter in 1888. It depicts a mockingbird perched on a branch, surrounded by delicate pink blossoms and green leaves. The card was part of a larger set of trading cards produced by the Allen & Ginter cigarette company, intended to be collected by consumers who purchased their products. These cards are now valuable historical artifacts and prized by collectors of Americana and natural history.
