Lantern, from the Miniature Novelties series (N120) issued by Duke Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco 1891

"Lantern," from the "Miniature Novelties" series (N120) issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco, is a chromolithograph card created in 1891. The card features a depiction of a woman in a straw hat and a pink ribbon, framed by a decorative oval. To the right, a lantern, also containing an image of a woman, sits on a patterned background. The image is a vibrant example of 19th-century trade card art, used to advertise the company's tobacco products. The card, now held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic ingenuity of the tobacco trade in the late 19th century.
