This 1891 chromolithograph by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. depicts the flag of Turkey, featuring a red field with a white crescent moon and star. The print is part of the "National Flags" series issued by the company, which aimed to advertise their "Hard Tack Cut Plug" tobacco. The image, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies late 19th-century American commercial art and provides a glimpse into the diverse flags flown across the globe at the time.
