"Sailor," from the *Occupations for Women* series, is a chromolithograph created by Goodwin & Company in 1887 for Old Judge and Dogs Head Cigarettes. This small-format print depicts a woman dressed in a sailor's uniform, complete with a hat, a blue jacket adorned with anchors, and a yellow skirt. The woman is depicted smoking a cigarette, a motif common in these cigarette cards, which were popular collectibles in the late 19th century. The card's vibrant colors and detailed imagery showcase the illustrative style of the era, and the *Occupations for Women* series offers a glimpse into the social and cultural dynamics of the period.
