"Right Face" is a trade card from the "Parasol Drills" series created by Allen & Ginter in 1888. The card, printed on a small sheet of paper, depicts a woman in a pink dress and white gloves holding a parasol. The card is part of a series of advertisements promoting Allen & Ginter's cigarettes, which were popular in the late 19th century. These cards are examples of early commercial art and were often collected by consumers for their colorful imagery and decorative appeal. They are now considered historical artifacts, offering insights into the social and cultural trends of the time.
