"Sumatra" is a lithograph from the "Races of Mankind" series issued by Abdul Cigarettes in 1881. The image depicts a man from Sumatra, Indonesia, wearing a traditional headdress. The lithograph is a prime example of the popularity of collecting cigarette cards in the late 19th century, where images from around the world were printed on the back of cigarette packs. The lithograph is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
