Conductor, from the Occupations for Women series (N166) for Old Judge and Dogs Head Cigarettes 1887

This trade card, created by Goodwin & Company in 1887, depicts a woman in a conductor's uniform. It is part of the "Occupations for Women" series, which featured women in traditionally male roles. The image, meant to promote Old Judge and Dogs Head cigarettes, showcases the woman's cleavage, a common trope in advertising of the era. The card is a valuable piece of social history, reflecting the changing roles of women in the late 19th century and the evolving nature of advertising.
