"Herald," from the *Occupations for Women* series, is a chromolithograph by Goodwin & Company, created in 1887 for Old Judge and Dogs Head Cigarettes. This trade card depicts a woman in a red, gold, and brown outfit, holding a staff and standing in front of a tent, representing the profession of a herald. The image, characteristic of late 19th-century chromolithography, uses bright colors and detailed patterns, typical of the era’s advertising art. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
