"Fatigue Dress, Colonel, Spain, 1886" is a colorful lithograph from the *Military Series* issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The card depicts a Spanish Colonel in uniform standing in front of a stylized background. The image is a prime example of late 19th century chromolithographic printing, a process that used multiple printing plates to create vibrant color images. This card, part of a larger set, was likely distributed to consumers in packs of cigarettes and serves as a great example of early 20th-century trade card advertising.
