Portrait of woman, from the Novelties series (N228, Type 1) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

This small, circular chromolithograph, "Portrait of Woman, from the Novelties series," is a prime example of the "trade cards" popular in the late 19th century. Created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889, these cards were often included in tobacco packages as a promotional tool. The card features a portrait of a woman in a simple, yet elegant style, typical of the Victorian aesthetic, and reflects the popular imagery of the time. The card, measuring 1 9/16 × 1 9/16 in., can now be found in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
