Neapolitan, from World's Dudes series (N31) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

"Neapolitan" is a chromolithograph from the "World's Dudes" series produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette cards in 1888. This particular card depicts a man in fashionable attire, including a wide-brimmed hat, a fur-trimmed green coat, and striped trousers. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the illustration reflect the popular chromolithographic printing techniques of the late 19th century. The card is a prime example of the "trade card" genre, which was widely used for advertising and collecting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
