English, from Types of Nationalities (N240) issued by Kinney Bros. 1890

"English" is a colorful lithograph from the "Types of Nationalities" series of trade cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890. The card features a caricature of a stereotypical Englishman, complete with a red coat, a pipe, and a rosy complexion. The accompanying rhyme reinforces the image, highlighting the Englishman's fondness for beer and pipe tobacco. These trade cards, often found tucked into packs of cigarettes, represent a form of early advertising that combined humor with cultural stereotypes to promote the Kinney Brothers' tobacco products.
