Unsofisticated, from the Snapshots from "Puck" series (N128) issued by Duke Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco 1888

"Unsofisticated," from the *Snapshots from "Puck"* series (N128), was issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1888 to promote their Honest Long Cut Tobacco. This trade card, which is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, depicts a humorous scene of a man being told he needs a prescription to buy eye drops. The artwork is a prime example of the late 19th-century trade card genre, where companies used illustration and humor to advertise their products.
