This chromolithograph, part of the "Yacht Colors of the World" series, depicts Agnes Huntington, a socialite, in the colors of the Berliner Yacht Club. The image is framed by nautical elements such as ropes, oars, and an anchor, creating a visually engaging and decorative piece. The series was issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co., a tobacco company, to promote their brand "Honest Long Cut Tobacco." This piece exemplifies the use of chromolithography, a printing technique popular in the late 19th century, for advertising purposes.
