Saxon Chasseur, Germany, 1886, from the Military Series (N224) issued by Kinney Tobacco Company to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1888

"Saxon Chasseur, Germany, 1886" is a chromolithograph from the "Military Series" (N224) of trade cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1888 to promote Sweet Caporal cigarettes. The card depicts a soldier in the uniform of the Saxon military, standing at attention with a rifle held at his side. This trade card, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a vivid example of late 19th-century American commercial art and a testament to the popularity of tobacco cards as collectibles.
