"Wolf Fish," from the *Fishers and Fish* series of trade cards, was created by Knapp & Company in 1888 for Duke brand cigarettes. The colorful lithograph depicts a woman with an oversized head, clad in a fashionable dress, holding a fishing rod. She stands in a grassy meadow with a large wolf fish at her feet. The charming illustration, typical of the trade card genre, was likely intended to appeal to the brand's target audience.
