"Marie Burroughs in Colors of the New York Yacht Club" is a colorful lithograph card from the "Yacht Colors of the World" series, issued by W.

This card depicts a young woman, Marie Burroughs, in a sailor's outfit, a red and blue hat, and a red bow, and features a small drawing of a rowboat at the bottom. It's an example of trade card advertising from the late 19th century, a time when tobacco companies were expanding their markets using attractive designs and imagery. This card, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a small, collectible piece of American history and marketing.
