"De Graaf, Duel with Van Horn," is a trade card from the "Pirates of the Spanish Main" series, produced by Allen & Ginter between 1886 and 1891. The card features a portrait of De Graaf, a pirate captain, with a scene of his duel with Van Horn in the background. The artwork is a chromolithograph, a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones to create a colorful image. These cards were given out as promotional items for Allen & Ginter cigarettes, and are now collected by art lovers and card enthusiasts.
