This 1885-1892 lithograph, from the "Governors, Arms, Etc." series issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co., depicts Oregon's Governor Sylvester Pennoyer. The card features a portrait of Pennoyer, flanked by the coat of arms of Oregon, the state flag, and landscapes depicting the state's landmarks, such as Mount Hood. The image, likely intended for trade card use, showcases the popular "Honest Long Cut" brand of tobacco by Duke Sons & Co., a practice common at the time.
