"Algiers, from the City Flags series (N6) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands" is a chromolithograph card created by Allen & Ginter in 1887. It depicts the flag of Algiers against a background of a sunset and ships in the sea. This piece was part of a set of trading cards issued as part of the Allen & Ginter Cigarettes brand, where each card displayed a different city flag. The cards were designed to be collected and traded by consumers, and they are now highly sought-after by collectors for their historical significance. This artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
