Little Ollie, from World's Beauties, Series 2 (N27) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

"Little Ollie" is a colorful chromolithograph from a set of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888. The card features a portrait of a young woman with a charming expression, adorned with a colorful headdress and a delicate necklace. These cards were originally given away with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, making them a prime example of early 19th-century advertising through collectible ephemera. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the styles and trends of the late 19th century, as well as highlighting a significant moment in the evolution of advertising and collecting.
