This 1890 chromolithograph card, part of the "Types of Nationalities" series issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, depicts a "Hindoo, High Caste Woman." The card presents a romanticized and stereotypical image of a woman from India, likely intended for a Western audience. She wears a traditional sari and elaborate jewelry, emphasizing the perceived exoticism of Indian culture. The card's small size suggests it was likely intended for inclusion in a larger set or album.
