"Admiral Duperre, French Navy" is a chromolithograph trading card from the "Naval Vessels of the World" series issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a side view of the French warship, "Admiral Duperre", with its masts and rigging prominently displayed. The card features a small French flag in the upper left corner and a larger banner advertising the "Kinney Bros. High Class Cigarettes" in the lower right corner. This card is a prime example of the type of collectible trading cards that were popular in the late 19th century, often used to promote products like tobacco. The artwork is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
