This chromolithograph from 1889 is part of the "Fans of the Period" series of collectible cards produced by Allen & Ginter, a company known for its tobacco products. This particular card, Plate 11, features a woman in traditional clothing, holding a peacock feather fan. The use of vibrant colors and detailed imagery exemplifies the popular aesthetic of the late 19th century, making it a fascinating example of trade cards and their role in promoting consumerism.
