"Icelandic," a lithograph from the "Types of Nationalities" series produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890, depicts a man with a long white beard in a dark coat, praying on a hassock. The card's text provides a humorous verse about a stereotypical Icelandic man in Reykjavik. These collectible cards were included in cigarette packs as a promotional tool, providing a glimpse into the societal views of nationalities in late 19th-century America.
