"English Castle," a lithograph printed by The Giles Company in 1890, depicts a romanticized view of a medieval English castle. This evocative image is part of the "Habitations of Man" series, which was issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. as trade cards to promote their Honest Long Cut smoking and chewing tobacco. The lithograph's vibrant colors and detailed architectural features contribute to the visual appeal of this charming piece, which is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
