Miss Johnson Dressed as Jewish Lady of Constantinople, from the set Actors and Actresses, Second Series (N71) for Duke brand cigarettes 1888 - 1890

This chromolithograph card, titled "Miss Johnson, Jewish Lady of Constantinople", was produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. between 1888 and 1890. As part of a larger set called "Actors and Actresses, Second Series" promoting Duke brand cigarettes, the card depicts a woman in a brightly colored turban and a blue and white striped garment. The image is a prime example of late 19th-century chromolithographic techniques. This card, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a rare and valuable artifact of American advertising history.
