This 1889 chromolithograph, "Ice Bucket," from the "Novelties" series by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, depicts a charming young woman peeking out from behind a bucket of ice-cold champagne. The vibrant colors and detailed illustrations are characteristic of late 19th-century trade cards, used to promote Kinney's tobacco products. The image, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, reflects the social trends and aesthetic sensibilities of the period, offering a glimpse into the world of advertising and consumer culture in the late 19th century.
