Scotland, from the Races of Mankind series (T181) issued by Abdul Cigarettes 1881

This chromolithograph, "Scotland," is part of the "Races of Mankind" series of cigarette cards issued by Abdul Cigarettes in 1881. The card depicts a stereotypical representation of a Scottish person wearing a traditional tam o' shanter hat and tartan kilt. This particular card, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was likely included in a pack of cigarettes marketed towards a Victorian audience, illustrating the company's attempt to connect with consumers through a culturally relevant theme.
