The Nile Bride, Egypt, from the Holidays series (N80) for Duke brand cigarettes 1890

"The Nile Bride, Egypt" is a chromolithograph from the "Holidays" series of cigarette cards produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1890. The card depicts a woman in traditional Egyptian garb, seated and holding a flower, with a crescent moon and a palm tree in the background. The vibrant colors and delicate details evoke a sense of romance and exoticism, popular themes in 19th-century depictions of the Middle East. These cards were given away as promotional items with Duke brand cigarettes and are now highly sought after by collectors.
