Happy New Year, from the New Years 1890 series (N227) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889 - 1890

This colorful chromolithograph, part of the "New Years 1890" series, features a humorous depiction of the New Year. A small figure, dressed in a green suit and a red hat, stands on a steaming baked potato, holding a sign with the year 1890. The figure is seemingly announcing the arrival of the new year. This playful, small-scale artwork, produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, reflects the tradition of issuing celebratory cards as a marketing tool for their tobacco products in the late 19th century.
