This 1889 chromolithograph by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company depicts a woman in a pink dress with a jeweled necklace. This small, circular card, part of a series of novelties distributed by Kinney Brothers, represents a typical example of trade cards used for advertising in the 19th century. The artwork, with its intricate details and vivid colors, was likely intended to appeal to a broad audience and promote the Kinney Brothers' tobacco products.
