"Tourist" from the "Occupations of Women" series is a trade card from 1889, commissioned by Frishmuth's Tobacco Company. The card depicts a woman in a traditional tourist outfit, complete with a walking stick, binoculars, and a knapsack. The colorful illustration uses a variety of techniques, including chromolithography, to create a whimsical and charming depiction of a woman exploring the outdoors. This card, like the rest in the series, is an example of a trade card, a popular form of advertisement in the late 19th century, designed to be both eye-catching and informative.
