The N276 Climax Plug Tobacco series was issued by Lorillard Tobacco. It may be the only multi-subject real photo albumen type cards from the 1880's other than a small sub series of the N45 Virginia Brights set. The card pictures 10 subjects laid out in a 2x5 horizontal grid with one of three different ads on the back of the card. Cards can be found in a couple different sizes.
This card pictures Fannie Ward, Laura Moore, Lillian Russell and others with the "Chew Climax Plug" black-print back. The card is in VG condition with wet sheet print on the front of the card from the sheet that was placed above this one. Great addition for the type card collector.
