"Under Inspection" is a chromolithograph from the "Parasol Drills" series of trading cards issued by Allen & Ginter in 1888. The card depicts a fashionable woman in a fur-trimmed coat and a lavish hat, holding a parasol. These cards were distributed with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, offering a glimpse into the fashion and social trends of the late 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this piece, showcasing the artistry of commercial printing in the Victorian era.
