This chromolithograph, "Bedouin, A Sheik's Daughter," is a trading card from the *Types of Nationalities* series produced by the Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1890. The card depicts a young Bedouin woman wearing traditional clothing and jewelry. The card is a good example of the popular trend in the late 19th century of collecting trading cards featuring various nationalities. The colorful imagery and detailed portrayal of the woman’s attire would have been fascinating to a general audience at the time. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
