This 1887 chromolithograph, created by Goodwin & Company, is part of the *Occupations for Women* series produced for Old Judge and Dogs Head Cigarettes. The card depicts a woman dressed in the garb of a king, adorned with a crown, a scepter, and a flowing royal robe. This humorous depiction of a woman assuming a traditionally male role reflects the social commentary of the era, playing on stereotypes and the changing roles of women in society. The vibrant colors and detailed illustrations make this a captivating example of 19th-century trade card art.
