Chili, from the Races of Mankind series (T181) issued by Abdul Cigarettes 1881

"Chili" is a chromolithograph from the "Races of Mankind" series issued by Abdul Cigarettes in 1881. It depicts a woman from Chile, a country in South America, wearing a traditional white lace shawl and head covering. The chromolithograph is a small, rectangular card, printed in bright colors that would have been eye-catching to cigarette smokers. This type of collectible card is known as a trade card, and was frequently used for advertising purposes, in this case, to promote Abdul Cigarettes. It is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
