The early cigarette manufacturers seduced the mainly male dominated market with tobacco cards depicting pretty girls. This was incredibly shocking for the straight-laced 19th century, and initially there was a lot of opposition from puritanical sections of society.

Pesquera (Mexico) produced a number of risqué series, including the one pictured in this blog that seems to depict a drunken lady in an erotic striptease.
Pesquera (Mexico), "Decepcion", Green Back, 1910s (14 cards)
