This chromolithograph, "Smyrna," from the "City Flags" series, is a small-scale artwork featuring a depiction of the flag of Smyrna, now known as İzmir, Turkey. The artwork is part of a collection of trading cards, or "cigaret cards," produced by the Allen & Ginter company in 1887 as a promotional item for their cigarette brand. These cards are highly sought-after by collectors for their historical and artistic value. "Smyrna" is a classic example of the American trade card, featuring a blend of visual detail with commercial advertising.
