"H.M.S. Glatton, British Navy" is a chromolithograph from the "Naval Vessels of the World" series, produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a side view of the British warship, with a British flag flying from its mast. The ship is shown sailing on a calm sea, with the Kinney Brothers logo and the text "CIGARETTES, HIGH CLASS" at the bottom of the card. This card is a great example of the advertising techniques of the late 19th century, using collectible cards to promote tobacco products. The artwork is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
