Malay, from the Types of All Nations series (N24) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1889

This chromolithograph, part of the *Types of All Nations* series, depicts a Malay woman wearing a traditional headscarf and clothing. The artwork was produced in 1889 by Allen & Ginter, a company that also produced tobacco cards. The card showcases a style common to trade cards of the period, with its simple composition and focus on the subject's face and clothing. This card, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, provides a glimpse into the cultural imagery of the late 19th century and its representation of different ethnicities.
