"St. Brelade, Channel Islands" is a chromolithograph from the "Surf Beauties" series of trading cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a woman in a colorful bathing suit, with her legs and feet in a prominent pose. The woman is wearing a loose, red robe that flows behind her, hinting at a sense of movement. These trading cards were popular collectibles in the late 19th century and are now sought-after by collectors of Americana and ephemera. The card, which measures 2 3/4 × 1 1/2 inches, is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
