This chromolithograph, part of the *Novelties* series of trading cards issued by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889, features a young woman with curly hair and a pointed red cap. The image, printed in a circular format with a green border, is a prime example of the *carte de visite* style, popular in the 19th century for showcasing portraits and scenes of daily life. This particular card is one of many that were included in tobacco packets, serving as a collectible reward for smokers. The *Novelties* series, with its depictions of everyday life and fashion, would have appealed to a broad audience in the late 19th century.
