This 1888 lithograph card features a portrait of Princess Eulalia of Spain, a member of the Spanish royal family. Created by Allen & Ginter, a tobacco company, the card was part of a series of collectible "World's Beauties" trading cards included with their cigarette packs. The portrait depicts the princess with a serious yet elegant expression, wearing a richly patterned, red and gold gown. "Princess Eulalia of Spain", "Allen & Ginter's Cigarettes", and "Richmond, Virginia" are all printed on the card in stylized text, reflecting the popular collecting trend of the late 19th century.
