Ace of Clubs, A Nace Dawg, from Harlequin Cards, 2nd Series (N220) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

This colorful lithograph, titled "Ace of Clubs, A Nace Dawg," is a humorous playing card from the second series of Harlequin Cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a dog, chained to a post, with the ace of clubs in its mouth. The image, rendered in a cartoonish style, is a playful take on the traditional playing card, incorporating the ace of clubs as the dog's "nose." The card, part of a larger set, is a prime example of the artistic trend of tobacco companies using playful imagery in their marketing materials to attract consumers.
