This chromolithograph depicts the Italian Navy's warship Duilio from the "Naval Vessels of the World" series of trading cards issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The artwork shows the ship at sea, flying the Italian flag, with the text "Duilio, Italian Navy" displayed prominently. This type of artwork was common in the late 19th century, often used as a form of advertising for commercial products, in this case, cigarettes. The image demonstrates a typical style of trade card art with its bright colors and detailed portrayal of the subject.
