Syria, from the Types of All Nations series (N24) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1889

This chromolithograph, part of the "Types of All Nations" series produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards, depicts a woman from Syria. The image, created in 1889, portrays the woman in traditional attire, with a distinctive red and gold headdress and a flowing gown. This card, printed on a small sheet measuring 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches, provides a glimpse into the cultural representation of Syrian women in the late 19th century. The card is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, offering art enthusiasts a chance to see this piece of historical and cultural documentation.
