"France, from the Natives in Costume series" is a chromolithograph trade card created by Allen & Ginter between 1886 and 1900. The card depicts a man in traditional French attire, standing in a formal setting. He is holding a top hat in his left hand and a rolled-up document in his right hand. The card is part of a larger series of trade cards that were distributed with Allen & Ginter Cigarettes. These cards, often referred to as "cigarette cards," are a popular collecting item today. This particular card is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
