Nahant, Massachusetts, from the Surf Beauties series (N232), issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

"Nahant, Massachusetts, from the Surf Beauties series" (1889) is a chromolithograph trading card from the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company’s "Surf Beauties" series. The card depicts a woman in a striped bathing suit, sitting on a rock by the shore, with her arms behind her head and her long red hair blowing in the wind. This series, showcasing women in beach attire, is an example of the popular "trade card" genre of the late 19th century, where companies would distribute small cards with imagery to advertise their products. This piece is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
