This chromolithograph, part of the "World's Dudes" series by Allen & Ginter, depicts a stylized caricature of a French country gentleman. The figure is portrayed in a whimsical manner, wearing traditional clothing, including a tall hat, a blue jacket, and wooden shoes. The image, likely intended for an audience of cigarette smokers, promotes Allen & Ginter's brand while offering a humorous take on French fashion and culture.
