This is a trade card from the "International Cards" series issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1888. The card depicts Spain, featuring the Order of the Golden Fleece, the Spanish flag, and Queen Regent Maria Cristina. The card was likely given away with the purchase of Kinney Brothers tobacco products and would have been part of a larger set of cards depicting different countries. The use of vibrant colors and detailed illustrations reflects the popular style of the late 19th century, making this a visually appealing and historically significant piece. This trade card serves as a reminder of the cultural and commercial influence of tobacco in the late 19th century.
