This chromolithograph, part of the Novelties series by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company, depicts a woman in profile wearing a pink ribbon in her hair and a gold necklace. This 1889 print is a prime example of trade cards, a popular form of advertising in the late 19th century. These small, collectible cards were often included in tobacco products or other goods, featuring images of beautiful women, landscapes, or scenes from daily life. The artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
