This lithograph, "Fatigue Dress, General Officer, United States Army, 1886," was part of the "Military Series" issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1888 to promote their Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The card depicts a U.S. Army general officer in his fatigue uniform, showcasing a detailed portrayal of the military dress regulations of the period. This work exemplifies the popular use of trade cards as a form of advertising during the late 19th century. This particular card, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a valuable artifact reflecting the history of both tobacco advertising and military attire.
