This chromolithograph, "Tasmania," is a part of the "Types of All Nations" series created by Allen & Ginter in 1889 for their cigarette cards. The card depicts a profile portrait of a Tasmanian man, his dark hair and beard framing his face. The background, a blur of warm colors, creates a sense of the man's individuality and his connection to his land. This series, designed to appeal to a broad audience, provided consumers with a glimpse into different cultures around the world. The small size and portability of these cards made them ideal for collecting and sharing.
