This chromolithograph, "Norway," was created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1888 as part of their "International Cards" series. The card depicts a portrait of a woman, likely a member of the Norwegian royal family, wearing a crown and surrounded by various symbols of Norwegian heraldry, including the Norwegian flag and the Order of St. Olav. The card is a prime example of late 19th-century printmaking and highlights the growing interest in international affairs, particularly in the realm of royalty and national identity.
