"Golden Carp" is a chromolithograph from the *Fishers and Fish* series of trade cards created by Knapp & Company in 1888 for the Duke brand of cigarettes. The card features a child wearing a striped hat, wading in water with a fishing rod, and a large golden carp hanging from the line. This whimsical illustration, characteristic of trade cards of the era, is likely intended to appeal to a broad audience and promote the Duke brand of cigarettes.
