This chromolithograph, part of the "Fans of the Period" series, is a collectible trade card from the Allen & Ginter Cigarettes company. Created in 1889, it depicts a fashionable woman holding a fan, and serves as an advertisement for Allen & Ginter’s tobacco products. The card, which measures just over two and a half inches tall, is an example of the chromolithographic printing process popular in the late 19th century.
