Grand Prix, France, from the Holidays series (N80) for Duke brand cigarettes 1890

"Grand Prix, France" is a colorful lithograph from the *Holidays* series of trading cards produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their Duke brand cigarettes. The image depicts a woman waving excitedly from the stands of a racetrack, likely the Grand Prix in France, as the event unfolds before her. The scene is filled with other spectators, their faces obscured by their festive attire and the heat of the moment. This card, measuring just 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches, is a vibrant testament to the popularity of sporting events at the end of the 19th century.
