"Hussar" is a lithograph from the "Occupations for Women" series created by Goodwin & Company in 1887. This whimsical card depicts a woman dressed in the attire of a Hussar, a type of light cavalry soldier. The bright colors and stylized imagery are characteristic of the chromolithographic style, which was popular for trade cards in the late 19th century. This artwork was produced for Old Judge and Dogs Head Cigarettes, showcasing the widespread use of trade cards for advertising purposes during this era. The card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, providing insight into the history of advertising and popular culture.
