On the Way to the Station, from the Snapshots from "Puck" series (N128) issued by Duke Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco 1888

"On the Way to the Station," is a trade card from the *Snapshots from "Puck"* series (N128) issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their Honest Long Cut Tobacco in 1888. The card depicts a horse-drawn carriage with a couple inside and the driver holding the reins. The image is in a humorous style, reminiscent of the illustrations found in the magazine *Puck*, and captures the moment of a couple's wedding day. The humorous caption reflects the playful tone of the era. This trade card, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of how tobacco companies used engaging imagery to promote their products in the late 19th century.
