This 1890 chromolithograph from the Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company's "Types of Nationalities" series depicts a "Market Girl of Paris" in a colorful, detailed style typical of the era. The young woman is shown wearing a blue kerchief and a red dress, a common attire for working-class women in 19th-century France. The card was likely distributed as a collectible for tobacco buyers, reflecting the popularity of such items in the late 19th century. The image is a snapshot of French fashion and societal roles of the time, offering a glimpse into the life of a Parisian market vendor.
