Greecian, from Types of Nationalities (N240) issued by Kinney Bros. 1890

This 1890 lithograph by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, titled "Greecian," is a colorful example of trade cards, a popular form of advertising in the late 19th century. The card depicts a man in traditional Greek attire holding a pack of "Sweet Caporal" cigarettes. This card was part of a series titled "Types of Nationalities," which depicted individuals from various cultures, often with humorous or stereotypical features, to appeal to a wide audience. The card's vibrant colors and detailed imagery make it a charming example of both advertising and social commentary from this period.
