This is a chromolithograph from the "Types of All Nations" series created by Allen & Ginter in 1889 for their cigarette cards. The card depicts a man from Madagascar in profile, wearing a white garment. The image is a portrait, a popular genre of the 19th century, and was likely used to promote Allen & Ginter cigarettes. This particular card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City.
