This is a monochrome print of the Italian warship "Dogali" from the "Famous Ships" series (N50), created by Allen & Ginter in 1895 to be included in a set of trading cards produced for Virginia Brights Cigarettes. The image depicts the ship from the side, resting on calm waters, with the ship’s masts and sails as the focal point. The card's visual simplicity and informative title make it a charming example of early 20th-century American printmaking.
