This 1881 lithograph, "Andalusia," from the "Races of Mankind" series, is a small, beautifully colored depiction of a man from Andalusia, a region in southern Spain. The artwork is likely meant to capture the exotic nature of this region and its people, as it is a portrait of a man wearing traditional attire. The image also shows a geometric pattern in the background. The "Races of Mankind" series was likely issued by the Abdul Cigarettes company as a collectible for its customers, showing the diverse peoples of the world. This artwork is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
