"Spanish, Senorita" is a trade card from a set of collectible cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890. The card depicts a woman in traditional Spanish attire, with a black jacket, yellow bodice and a floral headpiece. The card, which is one of a set of cards depicting different nationalities, is a prime example of the use of lithographic printing in trade card production. The image, printed in vibrant colors, reflects a romanticized and stereotypical view of Spanish culture. The card is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
