War Captain, Nambe, from the American Indian Chiefs series (N2) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1888

This lithograph, "War Captain, Nambe," is part of the "American Indian Chiefs" series, produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888 as trading cards for their cigarette brand. The card depicts a Native American man in traditional clothing, with a stern expression and a beaded necklace. The artwork is a prime example of the popular fascination with Native American cultures in the late 19th century, often romanticized and presented in a stereotypical manner.
