Tibet, from World's Smokers series (N33) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

This 1888 lithograph, "Tibet," is part of the "World's Smokers" series produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards. The image depicts a man in traditional Tibetan clothing smoking a pipe, with smoke swirling in the background. The card’s colorful and detailed illustration provides a glimpse into the cultural practices of Tibet in the late 19th century and is a prime example of chromolithography, a popular printing method at the time. It’s currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection.
