"Plate 22, from the Fans of the Period series" is a chromolithograph, or a color print, featuring a woman in a white dress and a white bonnet holding a fan. This is one of a series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter to promote their brand of cigarettes. The cards were distributed as part of a larger marketing campaign in the late 19th century and showcase a variety of styles of fans popular during this time period.
