Coat of Arms, Turkey, from the Military Series (N224) issued by Kinney Tobacco Company to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1888

This chromolithograph, part of a series of cards promoting Sweet Caporal cigarettes, depicts the Coat of Arms of Turkey, featuring a red field with a white crescent moon and star. Produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1888, the card is a prime example of trade cards, a popular form of advertising in the 19th century. Featuring a simple design and bold colors, the card effectively conveys the national symbol of Turkey and serves as a subtle reminder of the brand's name.
