This is a chromolithograph trading card from the "Surf Beauties" series issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a woman in a red swimsuit and a yellow wrap standing on a beach with other people in the background. The card is part of a series of cards featuring women in various bathing costumes and was likely used as a promotional item for Kinney Brothers Tobacco. The use of bright colors and the depiction of a stylish woman in a fashionable bathing costume contribute to the card's appeal and offer a glimpse into the changing styles and trends of the late 19th century.
