A Tough Chick, from the Jokes series (N87) for Duke brand cigarettes 1890

"A Tough Chick" is a humorous trade card from the "Jokes" series produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1890 for Duke brand cigarettes. The card features a stylized, anthropomorphized chicken wearing a bowler hat, monocle, and a suit, holding a smoking pipe and a gun. This card, part of a larger set, was likely included in packs of cigarettes as a promotional giveaway and an example of popular humor from the late 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this card in its collection.
