Cutlass, from the Arms of All Nations series (N3) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands 1887

This colorful lithograph, "Cutlass," is one of the "Arms of All Nations" series of trade cards produced by Allen & Ginter, a prominent tobacco company, in 1887. The image depicts a sailor, likely a pirate, holding a cutlass, a type of short sword, in a dramatic pose. The sailor's uniform and the presence of a ship mast in the background indicate a nautical theme, aligning with the card's subject matter. These trade cards were given away with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, and are now valuable collectibles for their historical significance and artistic merit.
