These cards were included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes, and were highly sought after by collectors for their historical and artistic value. This particular card, "Saxony," showcases the intricate printing techniques and illustrative style of late-19th-century American graphic design, with a focus on capturing the distinct characteristics of national flags.
