Ostende, Belgium, from the Surf Beauties series (N232), issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

This chromolithograph, part of the "Surf Beauties" series by the Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company, depicts a woman in a red bathing suit on a beach in Ostende, Belgium. The image, produced in 1889, is an example of the chromolithographic printing techniques popular at the time. This type of advertising, often included in packs of cigarettes, was meant to attract attention and promote the brand. The "Surf Beauties" series, with its suggestive imagery, was likely considered risqué for its time.
