"Happy New Year 1890," is a chromolithograph card from the "New Years 1890" series (N227) issued by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889-90. This card features a scene of a man lighting a candle, possibly symbolizing the passing of the old year, while an angel-like figure with wings writes in a book, potentially representing the coming new year. The card's bright colors and detailed imagery create a festive and celebratory mood, making it a charming example of late 19th-century American commercial art and tobacco advertising.
