This chromolithograph, created in 1889 by W. Duke, Sons & Co. as part of their "Types of Vessels" series, depicts an American three-mast schooner. The print, likely meant to promote the company's Honest Long Cut Tobacco, showcases the intricate details of the sailing vessel with its billowing sails, masts, and rigging, capturing the spirit of maritime trade. The vibrant colors and detailed illustration make this a captivating example of 19th-century commercial art, now preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
