This colorful lithograph, "Portugal", is part of the "Natives in Costume" series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1886. It features a man in traditional Portuguese clothing, including a red and yellow waistcoat and striped trousers. The man is standing on a beach with a boat in the background, a common motif used to depict different nationalities during the Victorian era. These trade cards were included in packs of Allen & Ginter cigarettes, making them a popular collectible. The card's vibrant colors and detailed illustrations are a testament to the craftsmanship of the late 19th century.
