"Tasmania," an 1881 lithograph by Abdul Cigarettes, depicts a portrait of a Tasmanian Aboriginal man in profile. Part of the "Races of Mankind" series issued by the cigarette company, the image is a prime example of the cultural fascination with different ethnic groups in the late 19th century. It is notable for its colorful use of lithographic printing, showcasing the artist's stylistic rendering of the subject's features. The image is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
