This chromolithograph, "Borneo," is part of the "Types of All Nations" series created by Allen & Ginter in 1889 for their cigarette cards. The card features a portrait of an individual from Borneo wearing traditional attire and jewelry. This series was popular and helped to educate the public on different cultures. The image, printed on a small card, was a common form of marketing and advertising in the late 19th century. The card is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
