Grève d' Azette, from the Beautiful Bathers series (N192) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

"Grève d'Azette," from the "Beautiful Bathers" series, is a chromolithograph trading card from 1889 by William S. Kimball & Co., a prominent producer of such cards in the late 19th century. The card depicts a woman, likely a fashionable bather of the era, sitting on a rock by the water. She is dressed in a colorful swimsuit, popular during this time. These trading cards, often featuring images of women in fashionable attire, were collected for their aesthetic appeal and as a means to promote the Kimball & Co. brand. The card's size and delicate detail are characteristic of chromolithography, a printing technique that brought color to mass-produced imagery.
