This is a chromolithograph from the *Military Uniforms* series, issued by Abdul Cigarettes in 1881. It depicts a soldier of the Austro-Hungarian Light Artillery, showcasing the distinctive uniform and headwear of the time. This series was popular for its detailed representations of military uniforms from various countries, offering a glimpse into the sartorial aspects of the late 19th-century armed forces. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this small-format artwork, measuring just over 3 inches in height, making it a prime example of collectible trade cards from this era.
