Plate 2, from the Fans of the Period series (N7) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1889

This is a chromolithograph from the "Fans of the Period" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1889 to promote their brand of cigarettes. The card depicts a young woman, likely of the Victorian era, wearing a fashionable straw hat, and holding a fan. The image is part of a larger set of collectible cards that were popular at the time, and illustrate the various types of fans used during the period. The series is considered a valuable example of American graphic design and popular culture of the late 19th century. The card is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
