The N166 Occupations for Women (Burlesqued) is a 50 card set picturing women in different occupations--generally with tight fitting clothing and bustiers. Likely an interesting set of the late 1880's to early 1890's, the series pictures women in jobs such as Policeman, Photographer, Sailor, Scholar, Teacher and Physician, among others. Most of the photos are 'burlesqued' or putting the women in some type of pose that enhances their figures due especially to the bustiers they are in. The card fronts are colorful images on a silvery grey background. The backs of the cards can be found with advertising for either American Eagle Tobacco or Goodwin Old Judge Cigarettes.
This lot of (4) cards from the N166 American Eagle Occupations for Women set are in VGEX condition and very clean with clean fronts and backs. One subject--Kin of the Amazons has some wear along the top border which could be very light trimming but the other three are very nice examples from this popular set.
