Chasseur, Officer, Sweden, 1886, from the Military Series (N224) issued by Kinney Tobacco Company to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1888

This colorful lithograph, part of the "Military Series" by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, depicts a Swedish Chasseur officer in full uniform. The card was created in 1888 as part of a promotional campaign for Sweet Caporal cigarettes. The bold colors and detailed portrayal of the soldier's attire reflect the popular interest in military subjects during this era. The card's small size, intended for inclusion in cigarette packs, makes it a fascinating example of commercial art and ephemera. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this piece within their collection.
