Cherebourg, France, from the Surf Beauties series (N232), issued by Kinney Bros. 1889

"Cherebourg, France" from the "Surf Beauties" series is a trade card issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. This chromolithograph features a woman wearing a red and white striped bathing suit, a popular fashion choice at the time. The woman is depicted sitting on a rock by the sea, suggesting a connection to the French coastal city of Cherebourg. These cards were distributed with tobacco products and often featured images of attractive women, contributing to the rise of the "tobacco card" as a collectible item. The card's bright colors and detailed illustration make it a charming example of late 19th-century commercial art.
