This 1888 lithograph, "Hungarian," is part of the "World's Smokers" series commissioned by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards. The image depicts a man in traditional Hungarian attire, wearing a distinctive hat, a red jacket with intricate details, and a large handlebar mustache. He holds a pipe in his hand, reflecting the theme of the series. This card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century fashion and cultural representation.
