"Paul Jones" is a lithograph from the "Great Americans" series of trading cards produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co., the largest cigarette manufacturer in the world, in 1888. This particular card depicts the American naval hero, John Paul Jones, in his naval uniform. His stern gaze and the American flag in the background capture the spirit of American patriotism, making this a valuable piece of Americana. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
