"Saint Enegat" is a chromolithograph from the "Fancy Bathers" series, issued by William S. Kimball & Company in 1889. This series of trade cards features a whimsical depiction of a woman in a bathing costume, standing in the water with a fishing net and a basket. The card is a charming example of late 19th-century printmaking, showcasing the colorful and detailed style of chromolithography that was popular at the time. The card was likely intended for use as advertising for the company, showcasing their products in a visually appealing and engaging manner. The use of bright colors and a lighthearted subject matter made these cards popular among collectors and consumers alike, reflecting the evolving social and cultural landscape of the late Victorian era.
