This is a lithograph from the "Yacht Colors of the World" series, produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco. It features a portrait of actress Lillian Russell in a sailor's outfit, wearing an orange beret. The image includes a small blue flag with white stars representing the Seawanhaka Yacht Club, and nautical details like oars and ropes. The lithograph, measuring just over 4 inches by 2.5 inches, was likely intended as a collectible trading card, offering a glimpse into the world of turn-of-the-century yachting and advertising.
