"Thrush" is a chromolithograph from the "Song Birds of the World" series, created by Allen & Ginter in 1890 for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes. This card depicts a detailed and colorful illustration of a Thrush perched on a branch. The card, measuring 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 in., is a prime example of the artistic style employed in the late 19th century for trading cards, often featuring naturalistic depictions of birds and other natural elements. It's currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City.
