This chromolithograph, created by Goodwin & Company in 1890, depicts a Fox Terrier from their "Dogs of the World" series for Old Judge Cigarettes. The image, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcases a detailed and realistic portrayal of the dog breed. The artwork's small size and simple composition highlight the Fox Terrier's distinctive features, capturing its elegant stance and alert expression. This print, designed for a popular brand of cigarettes, reflects the Victorian era's fascination with canine breeds and the growing popularity of collecting cards.
