Boon Island, from the Lighthouses series (N119) issued by Duke Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco 1889

"Boon Island" is a chromolithograph from the "Lighthouses" series of trade cards issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1889 to promote their Honest Long Cut Tobacco brand. The card depicts the Boon Island Lighthouse, a prominent landmark off the coast of Maine, standing tall on a rocky shore. The image is a colorful representation of the lighthouse and its surrounding landscape. The trade card is a prime example of advertising art from the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the history of both tobacco advertising and American lighthouses. The card is now held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
