"Pet Setter" is a chromolithograph from the "Household Pets" series produced by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1891. This trade card features a woman in a straw hat and a long, flowing dress holding a basket with a dog, likely an Irish Setter, peering out from the side. The image was likely used to promote the company's products, using the charming image of a woman and her pet to attract customers. Chromolithography, a process of printing with multiple colors using lithography, was a popular and affordable way to reproduce images in the late 19th century.
