California Salmon, from the series Fishers and Fish (N74) for Duke brand cigarettes 1888

"California Salmon," a chromolithograph from the "Fishers and Fish" series created by Knapp & Company in 1888, is a detailed depiction of a salmon swimming through the water. The artwork was originally designed to be a trading card for Duke brand cigarettes and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. The vibrant colors and intricate detail of the fish bring to life the natural world, making this a fascinating example of 19th-century naturalism.
