Spanish, from Types of Nationalities (N240) issued by Kinney Bros. 1890

This 1890 lithograph by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company depicts a caricature of a Spanish man. Part of a series of trade cards promoting "Sweet Caporal" cigarettes, the image uses stereotypical imagery to represent a nationality, a popular practice in advertising at the time. The figure is portrayed wearing traditional Spanish clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat and a red beret. The man’s exaggerated features and wide grin, along with a lit cigarette, contribute to the cartoonish nature of the illustration.
