Officer of Cavalry, Sweden, from the Military Series (N224) issued by Kinney Tobacco Company to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1888

This colorful lithograph, "Officer of Cavalry, Sweden", was printed in 1888 by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company as part of their "Military Series" for Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. It features a Swedish cavalry officer in full uniform, complete with a white plume on his helmet and a sword at his side. The vibrant colors and detailed imagery make this a classic example of the trade card, a popular form of advertising in the late 19th century. The card's small size (7 x 3.8 cm) reflects its intended use as a collectible item for cigarette smokers.
