This is a vintage tobacco card issued by Hassan Cork Tip Cigarettes, featuring a detailed lithograph of a Meerkat (Suricata tetradacyla). The card showcases classic early 20th-century cigarette card artistry, with rich, naturalistic colors and fine line work depicting the small animal on a natural background. The front of the card is marked "MEERKAT" at the bottom left.

On the back, the card provides a descriptive natural history text about the Meerkat, noting its habitat in Cape Colony and distinctive physical and behavioral traits. The text is bordered by a decorative wavy frame. Below the description is the brand name "HASSAN" in elegant script, followed by "CORK TIP CIGARETTES" and the tagline "The Oriental Smoke." It also states "THE LARGEST SELLING BRAND OF CIGARETTES IN AMERICA" and includes a factory marking: "FACTORY No 30, 2ND DIST. N.Y." This tobacco card is a collectible example of early American cigarette advertising and natural history imagery, ideal for collectors of vintage tobacciana and animal-themed cigarette cards.
