"Man-of-War's Man, Spain, 1886" is a chromolithograph from the "Military Series" of trade cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company to promote their Sweet Caporal cigarettes. The card depicts a sailor in profile, standing with his hand on his hip against a background of colorful overlapping circles. The image is part of a larger set of cards featuring military figures from various countries. This particular card depicts a Spanish sailor from 1886. The card, like the rest of the series, showcases the artistic style typical of late 19th-century trade cards, with its bold colors and flat, simplified figures. The card is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
