"Fire Island, Long Island, from the Surf Beauties series (N232)" is a chromolithograph trading card from the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company's "Surf Beauties" series, printed in 1889. The card depicts a woman in a bathing suit, wading into the ocean at Fire Island, Long Island. It is a colorful and detailed illustration that captures the fashion and leisure activities of the late 19th century. This card, like other items from the series, was likely included in packs of cigarettes sold by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company. The card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
