"Morocco, from the Natives in Costume series" is a lithograph depicting a man from Morocco in traditional clothing. It was printed as a collectible card for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes between 1886 and 1900. The card shows a man in a yellow robe and red trousers, with a white cloak over his shoulders. He is holding a gun in his right hand, and a dagger in his left. The image is set against a backdrop of green grass and foliage, creating a sense of exoticism and adventure. The card is a valuable artifact of the 19th-century cigarette card craze.
