American Indian, from World's Smokers series (N33) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

This lithograph, part of the "World's Smokers" series, depicts an American Indian smoking a pipe. The image, likely intended for Allen & Ginter's cigarette cards, showcases a romanticized view of Native American culture, portraying the figure with traditional headdress and attire. The bold colors and intricate details of the design are characteristic of the chromolithographic printing process, popular in the 19th century. The card's small size, typical of collectible trading cards, adds to its historical significance as a piece of ephemera from the late 19th century.
