"Eliza Weathersby" is a lithograph from the "World's Beauties" series created by Allen & Ginter in 1888 for their cigarette cards. This card depicts a portrait of a young woman with blonde hair and a feathered hat, wearing a white lace dress with red accents. The card features a simple, yet elegant design, typical of the late 19th-century trade cards that were popular in America. These cards were given away with Allen & Ginter cigarettes as a form of advertising. This card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
