This chromolithograph from the "International Cards" series by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company features a portrait of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII. The card, printed in 1888, showcases the Prince in a military uniform against a background of British flags and the royal coat of arms. The visual language of the card, with its ornate borders and vibrant colors, reflects the popular style of late-19th century trade cards, which often used patriotic imagery to appeal to a wide audience.
