"Atlanta, U.S.N." is a photogravure from the "Famous Ships" series created by Allen & Ginter in 1895. This series was printed for promotional purposes by Virginia Brights Cigarettes and featured images of famous naval vessels. The image shows a detailed view of the USS Atlanta, a protected cruiser that served in the U.S. Navy during the Spanish-American War. The photogravure's small size, typical of the series, allowed for a wide distribution, making it a popular collectible item for enthusiasts of naval history.
