Lamp, from the Novelties series (N228, Type 5) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

"Lamp," from the Novelties series of trade cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889, depicts a whimsical image of a woman's face within a lampshade. The trade card is part of a larger series of cards that depict various objects and scenes in a humorous or satirical way. The use of the woman's face within the lampshade suggests the idea of a woman's beauty being a source of light and warmth, which was a common theme in Victorian imagery. The card is a colorful example of the popular trade card format that was used in the late 19th century to advertise products and promote brand recognition.
