"Apprentice," from the *Occupations for Women* series (N166) for Old Judge and Dogs Head Cigarettes, is a chromolithograph by Goodwin & Company created in 1887. The card depicts a young woman in a cobbler's shop holding a boot. These cards were popular promotional items, given out with tobacco products, that depicted women engaging in various occupations, often in humorous ways. This card, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a small, but vibrant example of late 19th-century advertising, showcasing the burgeoning trend of women in the workforce.
