Zululand, from the Natives in Costume series (N16) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1886

"Zululand" is a chromolithograph from the "Natives in Costume" series of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter in 1886. These cards were given away with Allen & Ginter brand cigarettes. This card depicts a Zulu man in traditional attire, holding a spear and a shield, standing in a grassy field. The card's vivid colors and detailed imagery showcase the company's artistic style and their interest in exotic cultures, which was popular in the late 19th century. The card is a small but important example of trade cards and the relationship between consumerism and cultural representation.
