Knapsack, from the Novelties series (N228, Type 5) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

"Knapsack," from the *Novelties* series, is a trade card created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The card features a portrait of a woman in a blue dress, framed within a knapsack. This whimsical portrayal exemplifies the popular "trade card" genre of the late 19th century, which served as a means of advertising and promotion for a variety of products. These collectible cards, often featuring decorative designs, were distributed with tobacco products, similar to modern-day trading cards. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds this piece in their collection.
