Trio of 1914 Rose O'Neill Kewpie Tobacco Flannels - A trio of woven cotton flannel panels featuring the Kewpie characters created by Rose O'Neill.

These textiles were originally produced as premiums for tobacco products and are woven with the Rose O'Neill signature and a 1914 copyright date. Height: 5.5 inches Width: 4.5 inches. The panels exhibit frayed edges from being separated from a larger sheet of material. Minor surface discoloration and light staining are present throughout, consistent with age, though the woven images and text remain clear and legible.
