Tennessee, from the Industries of States series (N117) issued by Duke Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco 1889

This chromolithograph, titled "Tennessee," from the *Industries of States* series, depicts a female figure in a flowing gown and sandals, holding a helmet, representing the state. The image is a trade card that was issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote *Honest Long Cut Tobacco* in 1889. It's a visual allegory for the state's key industries, particularly agriculture and tobacco, through the representation of its coat of arms. The card's style was common in the late 19th century, combining allegorical figures with promotional messaging. The card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
