"Striker, Apache," is a chromolithograph from the "American Indian Chiefs" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888. The card features a portrait of an Apache man, identified as Striker, adorned in traditional clothing and jewelry. Surrounding the portrait are decorative elements such as feathers and a tomahawk, which evoke a romanticized vision of Native American life. The card's small size, measuring 2 7/8 x 3 1/4 inches, was intended for easy collection and distribution. This card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, NY.
