Suabian Peasant, from World's Smokers series (N33) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

"Suabian Peasant" is a lithograph from the "World's Smokers" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888 as a collectible card for their cigarette brand. This particular card depicts a man in traditional Swabian clothing smoking a pipe. The colorful illustration is characteristic of the late 19th-century American trade card style, often featuring detailed representations of people and scenes. This card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the merging of advertising with artistic imagery in a popular cultural format.
