"Marie Burroughs in Colors of New York Yacht Club" is a chromolithograph card from the "Yacht Colors of the World" series produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1890 to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco. The card depicts a young woman wearing a sailor's uniform and cap, with a red bow tie, standing against a background of a decorative border with gold rope and oars and a flag. This card is part of a series of trade cards that were popular in the 19th century and served as a form of advertising. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds this particular card in its collection.
