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

This trade card, created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889, features a charming portrait of a young woman adorned with flowers. The card, part of the Novelties series, was likely distributed with packs of tobacco as a promotional item. The image's delicate details and use of color evoke a sense of Victorian romanticism, typical of the era. The card's small size, measuring just 1 9/16 × 2 7/8 inches, is characteristic of collectible trade cards. This particular example is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
