"Quiver of arrows, from the Novelties series (N228, Type 3)" is a trade card produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The card features a woman's profile against a background of decorative flourishes and a quiver of arrows. The image, which would have been given to customers as part of a pack of cigarettes, is a fine example of late-19th century graphic design and advertising. This particular trade card, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates the artistic influence that tobacco companies had on the popular arts of the period.
