Trade cards from the "Comic Powder Novelties" series (N200), issued ca. 1890 by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. Each card instructs the collector to place a burning cigarette at the point of the gun on each card's image. The burning paper then mirrors the bullet's trajectory. Most examples here show the resulting burn marks.
