"Physician" is a trade card from the "Occupations for Women" series, created by Goodwin & Company in 1887. It depicts a woman in a doctor's attire, holding a bottle, with a hint of a humorous, ironic tone, as it was part of an advertising campaign for Old Judge and Dogs Head Cigarettes. The card showcases the artistic style of chromolithography, common in the late 19th century for its vibrant colors and detail, and serves as a valuable artifact in the history of advertising and social commentary.
