This 1888 lithograph from the "Rulers, Flags, and Coats of Arms" series, issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co., depicts General Luis Bográn, President of Honduras, alongside the Honduran coat of arms and flag. The image is a classic example of 19th-century chromolithography, known for its vibrant colors and detailed illustrations. The inclusion of the president's portrait within this series suggests a connection to the tobacco company's marketing strategies at the time.
