Woman wearing brimmed hat, from the Novelties series (N228, Type 2) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

This chromolithograph, part of the "Novelties" series of trading cards issued by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889, depicts a woman wearing a large, pink, brimmed hat. The card, measuring just 1 9/16 inches in diameter, is a fine example of the popular late-nineteenth century trend of using collectible cards to advertise tobacco products. The woman's portrait, likely a fictional character, is rendered in a highly stylized manner, with meticulous detail in the clothing and the delicate features of her face. The vivid colors and the overall composition contribute to a sense of charm and sentimentality, typical of trade cards of this period.
