"Hindoo," from the *Types of Nationalities* series, is a 1890 lithograph created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company. This trading card, part of a larger set, depicts a man wearing traditional clothing, holding a smoking pipe. The image was designed to be part of the marketing campaign of Kinney Brothers, and likely used in tobacco packs. The lithograph is a prime example of American popular culture in the late 19th century, showcasing the social and cultural practices of the time through commercial art.
