This chromolithograph, "Wild Rose (Rosa Lucida)," is part of the *Flowers* series created by Goodwin & Company in 1890 for Old Judge Cigarettes. It depicts a vibrant pink wild rose, its petals unfurling amidst lush green leaves and a soft, blue sky. The delicate detail and vibrant hues are characteristic of chromolithography, a printing process popular in the late 19th century. Originally used as a collectible trading card, this piece is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection.
