Julia Marlowe in Colors of Dorchester Yacht Club, from the Yacht Colors of the World series (N140) issued by Duke Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco 1890

This colorful trade card from the *Yacht Colors of the World* series, featuring Julia Marlowe, was created by W. Duke, Sons & Co., in 1890 to promote their Honest Long Cut Tobacco brand. The card depicts a young woman, possibly a socialite or a member of the Dorchester Yacht Club, in a straw hat and sailor's garb. The prominent placement of the yacht club's flag and oars create a visual connection to the subject's affiliation with the club. This example of *trade card art* highlights the company's connection to the leisure activities of its target demographic during the late 19th century.
