This chromolithograph, part of the "Novelties" series of trade cards produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889, features a woman in profile wearing a floral hat. The card, measuring 1 9/16 × 1 9/16 inches, showcases the company's brand while appealing to the Victorian era's fascination with fashionable attire. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that utilizes multiple colors, brings a vibrant realism to the image, capturing the details of the woman's dress, hat, and hair. This piece is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
