"Head Erect" is a chromolithograph from the *Parasol Drills* series by Allen & Ginter, created in 1888 as a trade card for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in Richmond, Virginia. The card features a woman in a pink dress and gloves holding a feathered parasol behind her back. This artwork is a prime example of a trade card from the late 19th century, and it is now held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
