"Spaniard" is a chromolithograph from the "World's Smokers" series, produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888 as a collectible card for their cigarette brand. The card depicts a young man with a characteristic Spanish hat, wearing a blue jacket with gold buttons, and smoking a cigarette. The image, rendered in a realistic style, is part of a larger collection showcasing diverse individuals from around the globe. The "World's Smokers" series captured the social customs and fashion of the late 19th century. This card is a testament to the historical and cultural significance of collecting and tobacco marketing in the era.
