T.W. Doswell, from the Racing Colors of the World series (N22b) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

This chromolithograph card, part of the *Racing Colors of the World* series, was printed in 1888 by Allen & Ginter, a well-known tobacco company. Featuring a depiction of T.W. Doswell, a jockey in his racing silks, the card is a prime example of trade cards, collectible cards produced to promote a company's products. The image is printed in a detailed, textured style and features a muted color palette, typical of chromolithography. The card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
