"Tyrolese" is a chromolithograph from the "World's Smokers" series, produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888 for their cigarette cards. The card depicts a man from the Tyrol region of Austria, wearing traditional clothing, with a pipe and a plume in his hat. This series, known for its colorful depictions of people from around the world, was part of a marketing campaign aimed at promoting Allen & Ginter cigarettes. These cards are now prized collectibles, appreciated for their historical and cultural significance.
