This is a chromolithograph from the "Military Uniforms" series, created by Abdul Cigarettes in 1881. It depicts a member of the Austro-Hungarian Bodyguard in detailed uniform, showcasing the intricate details of his military attire, including his hat, fur-trimmed coat, and decorative belt. The print is a prime example of the use of chromolithography in commercial art during the 19th century and illustrates the popularity of collecting military uniforms. The card is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
