This chromolithograph, "Lotta in Colors of Portland Yacht Club", is a promotional card for Honest Long Cut Tobacco, part of the "Yacht Colors of the World" series issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1890. The card depicts a young woman wearing a sailor's uniform with a hat decorated with the Portland Yacht Club flag, framed with ropes and oars. The artwork embodies the popular trend of using attractive imagery to promote commercial products in the late 19th century. The card's colorful design and charming figure of a woman represent the era's burgeoning interest in leisure activities like yachting, and the brand's connection with the nautical world.
