This chromolithograph, "Huntress," is part of the "World's Racers" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette brand in 1888. Depicting a chestnut mare with a jockey on its back, the card captures the excitement of horse racing, a popular sport in the late 19th century. The use of vivid colors and detailed imagery creates a realistic depiction of the horse, showcasing its breed and physique. This collectible card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, NY.
