"St. Enogat, France, from the Surf Beauties series (N232)" is a chromolithograph trade card produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. It depicts a woman in a bathing suit, standing in the surf at St. Enogat, France, holding a long pole. This card, part of the "Surf Beauties" series, is a prime example of late-19th-century ephemera promoting tobacco products. The card's bright colors and detailed illustration capture the fashionable seaside scene of the era. It is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
