This chromolithograph, part of the "Types of All Nations" series created for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1889, depicts a woman in traditional Romanian attire. The woman, with her dark hair and expressive eyes, is adorned with a colorful head scarf and intricate patterns on her dress. The use of vibrant colors and detailed patterns adds to the sense of cultural identity and showcases the beauty of Romanian folk art. The image is a prime example of late 19th-century chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for intricate details and rich color.
