This 1889 chromolithograph, part of the "Novelties" series, is a small, circular portrait of a woman with blond hair, a delicate smile, and a blue necklace. Created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, it exemplifies the trend of including collectible cards in tobacco products. The small size and simple design make it a unique example of late 19th-century advertising and collectible ephemera. The card is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
