This chromolithograph, part of the "Races of Mankind" series, was issued by Abdul Cigarettes in 1881. The artwork depicts a Greek man, likely a stereotypical representation of the time, with a prominent white beard and a distinctive red fez. The image is a prime example of the popular "cigarette cards" genre of the late 19th century, used for advertising and collecting. The card's small size and vivid colors make it a unique and interesting piece of art.
