German Cigarette trading card. According to Wikipedia, the cigarette factory Constantin (also: Cigarettenfabrik Constantin), was founded in Hanover around 1888 by Angely Constantin, who came from a Greek tobacco grower family, and it merged with Jasmatzi AG after 1916. This would seem to date the card from between 1899 and 1916.
