Portrait of woman, from the Novelties series (N228, Type 1) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

This is a small, round portrait of a woman from the Novelties series of cigarette cards issued by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889. The woman has brown hair styled in loose curls and wears a dark green jacket. The image is a typical example of the company's cigarette cards that are considered to be a form of ephemera with a connection to both art and advertising. The cards were popular in the late 19th century and continue to be collected by enthusiasts today.
