This trade card from the "Governors, Arms, Etc." series, issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in the late 19th century, features a portrait of Governor Ormsbee of Vermont. The card's design is divided into three sections: the left depicts the state's coat of arms, the center showcases the governor's portrait, and the right shows the flag of the U.S. Navy Rear Admiral, a scenic landscape, and the company's advertisement for Duke Cigarettes. The card's vibrant colors and detailed illustrations are typical of the trade card genre, which was popular in the late 19th century.
