"Maltese" is a chromolithograph from the "Dogs of the World" series, created by Goodwin & Company in 1890 for Old Judge Cigarettes. The artwork depicts a white Maltese dog with long, flowing hair. It was part of a series of collectible cards that were popular in the late 19th century. The image is a prime example of the chromolithographic printing style, which utilized multiple printing plates to create a vibrant, detailed image. The card is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
