"Samoan Homestead" is a chromolithograph from the "Habitations of Man" series, produced in 1890 by The Giles Company for W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their tobacco products. The colorful illustration depicts a traditional Samoan dwelling with a thatched roof and wooden walls, nestled amidst a lush tropical landscape. The artwork, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the architecture and natural beauty of Samoa during the late 19th century.
