Card Number 11, cut-out from banner advertising the Opera Gloves series (G29) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1885 - 1895

This is a chromolithograph trading card from the "Opera Gloves" series, produced by Allen & Ginter in the late 19th century. The card features a large, green, stylized hand holding a smaller card with a portrait of a fashionable young woman in a hat and a coat. The card is bordered in gold and features the number "11" on the bottom. These cards were given away with Allen & Ginter cigarettes and are an example of early commercial advertising and popular culture.
