This is a chromolithograph from the *Military Series* of trading cards issued in 1888 by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company to promote their Sweet Caporal cigarettes. The card depicts an Austrian Uhlan, a type of light cavalry, in full uniform dating back to 1850. The card was part of a larger set featuring military figures from various historical periods.
