This 1887 lithograph, part of the "Sea Captains" series by W. Duke, Sons & Co., depicts E.H. Freeth, the captain of the ship "British Princess." The card was created as an advertisement for "Honest Long Cut" tobacco. The card features Freeth's portrait, a red flag with a white star, and a glimpse of a ship's mast in the background. This colorful and detailed artwork is a testament to the artistic style popular in the late 19th century and provides a glimpse into the history of tobacco advertising.
