"From the Girls and Children series (N58)" is a trade card from 1887 that promotes Allen & Ginter brand tobacco products, specifically their "Our Little Beauties" cigarettes. This card, part of a larger series of similar images, depicts a young boy dressed as a jester playing a banjo, an image meant to appeal to a wide audience with its lighthearted and whimsical nature. The card is printed in vibrant colors with a high level of detail, reflecting the style of trade cards popular in the late 19th century. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
