Greve Dazette, from the Surf Beauties series (N232), issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

"Greve Dazette" is a chromolithograph from the "Surf Beauties" series, issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. This trading card depicts a woman in a swimsuit, stepping onto a ladder at the edge of the water. The brightly colored artwork, common for tobacco cards of the period, served as a promotional item for Kinney Brothers' tobacco products. The card is a fascinating glimpse into the changing fashions and leisure activities of the late 19th century.
