Firescreen with Japanese design, from the Novelties series (N228, Type 3) issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

This circular chromolithograph from 1889, part of the "Novelties" series by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, depicts a woman in a Japanese-inspired costume. The design, featuring a woman with a fan and stylized birds, is a prime example of the Orientalist trend popular during the late 19th century, which often romanticized and exoticized Eastern cultures. The image, printed on a small card, was likely intended as a collectible or promotional item for Kinney Brothers' tobacco products. The use of bright colors and detailed imagery is characteristic of chromolithography, a popular printing technique at the time.
