Rowing Club, from World's Dudes series (N31) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

This is a chromolithograph from the "World's Dudes" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888, depicting a man in rowing club attire. The card, which is part of a larger collection of 50 cards, was included in packages of Allen & Ginter cigarettes. The card features a man in striped attire, a blue hat, and a monocle, holding a rowing oar. The background suggests a riverside setting, with a boat and water visible in the distance. These cards were a popular form of advertising in the late 19th century, and their colorful imagery helped to promote the Allen & Ginter brand.
