Egg, from the Novelties series (N228, Type 6) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

This chromolithograph, part of the "Novelties" series of cigarette cards, depicts a woman in a red hat, likely meant to represent an "egg." The series, issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889, was popular for its whimsical and decorative imagery. The card's oval shape adds to its charm, making it an intriguing example of late 19th-century commercial art. It's currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to attract attention for its charming portrayal of a common household item.
