This chromolithograph, titled "Lotta," is part of the "World's Beauties" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888 to promote their cigarettes. The card features a portrait of a young woman, likely a popular actress of the time, against a light background. The woman's name is printed below the portrait, along with the Allen & Ginter logo and location. These cards, which were given away with cigarette packs, have become popular collectibles for their charming depictions of historical figures and artistic value.
