Here is a Portrait of John L..., from the Magic Changing Cards series (N223) issued by Kinney Tobacco Company 1889

This is a portrait of John L., part of the "Magic Changing Cards" series issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The series was intended for the entertainment of tobacco consumers, with the "magic" referring to the illusion of changing images when the card was held up to the light. This particular card depicts a man in a suit and bow tie, printed in black and brown on a light brown background. The image is simple, yet evocative of the period, demonstrating the graphic style prevalent in the late 19th century. The card's design is a testament to the early days of commercial printing, showcasing the evolution of mass-produced art. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this piece, which measures 2 3/4 × 1 1/2 inches.
