From the Girls and Children series (N58) promoting Our Little Beauties Cigarettes for Allen & Ginter brand tobacco products 1887

This is a chromolithograph from the "From the Girls and Children" series of trade cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1887. The card features a young woman wearing a dress and hat, standing with her hands on her hips, and promoting "Our Little Beauties" cigarettes, a product of the Allen & Ginter brand tobacco products. The trade card exemplifies the use of lithographic printing in the late 19th century to advertise consumer goods. Chromolithography, a process for printing multiple colors, allowed for the creation of vibrant and eye-catching images that were popular for advertising during this period.
