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

This is a chromolithograph from a set of trading cards called "Types of Nationalities" produced by Kinney Bros., a tobacco company, in 1890. This card depicts a man wearing traditional Turkish clothing and a fez, a red felt hat. The card features a verse about the Sultan of Turkey, Abdul Aziz, and promotes the company's cigarette brand, "Sweet Caporal." The card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies late-nineteenth-century graphic design and cultural stereotypes.
