Minnie Conway as "Pocahontas," from the series Fancy Dress Ball Costumes (N73) for Duke brand cigarettes 1889

This chromolithograph, part of the "Fancy Dress Ball Costumes" series for Duke brand cigarettes, depicts Minnie Conway as Pocahontas. Created in 1889 by W. Duke, Sons & Co., the card features Conway in a blue cloak and feathered headdress, offering a romanticized portrayal of the famous Native American figure. The image, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the popularity of Native American imagery in late 19th-century American culture, often through romanticized and stereotypical representations.
