This colorful chromolithograph, created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889, is part of the "Novelties" series of trading cards. The artwork, which features a woman in a stylish pink feathered hat, is a prime example of the popular "trade card" genre of the late 19th century. These cards were often distributed with tobacco products, acting as a form of advertising and collectible. The woman's elegant attire and the detailed rendering of her features showcase the artistry and attention to detail common in these small-scale illustrations.
