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 includes a group of (9) N166 Goodwin "Occupations for Women" cards from the Old Judge & Dog's Head brand. The lot includes the following subjects: Commissioner, Cyclist, Hussar, Drummer, Journalist, Commercial Traveller, Dandy, Minister and Miner. The cards range in condition from Poor (Dandy) to VGEX with most being around GVG to VG. Still a nice lot from a very difficult set
