This chromolithograph, "Grizzly Bear," is part of the "Animals of the World" series issued by Abdul Cigarettes in 1881. The artwork depicts a grizzly bear standing on a rocky ledge overlooking a mountainous landscape. The bear is rendered in a realistic style with detailed fur and a powerful presence. This card is a classic example of early 20th century chromolithography and was likely given away as a promotional item with cigarette packs. The card's small size, measuring just 4.2 by 7 cm, makes it a charming and collectible piece of American art history.
