"Nancy Lee" is a chromolithograph from the "Illustrated Songs" series (N116) produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1893 to promote their Honest Long Cut Tobacco brand. The artwork depicts a young woman, likely referencing the popular song "Nancy Lee." She wears a sailor-style outfit and a blue cap, and the image includes a circular frame showcasing a sailboat on the water. The use of chromolithography, a popular printing technique during this period, creates a vibrant and colorful aesthetic. This card is a prime example of trade cards, a form of advertising popular in the late 19th century.
