"Red Snapper," a chromolithograph from the "Fishers and Fish" series, depicts a vibrantly colored red snapper, a popular game fish known for its delicate flesh. Knapp & Company, known for their work in the late 19th century, created this card as a collectible for Duke brand cigarettes. The artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. Its small size and detailed rendering make it an excellent example of the chromolithographic process and the popularity of trade cards in the late 19th century.
