This chromolithograph, "Eddystone, English Channel," is part of a series of cards issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their Honest Long Cut Tobacco. The print, which depicts the iconic Eddystone Lighthouse, was created in 1889 and features a detailed rendering of the lighthouse, situated on rocky cliffs overlooking the choppy waters of the English Channel. The scene is rendered in a realistic style with vibrant colors and intricate details. This card, like many others in the series, is a prime example of the marketing strategies employed by tobacco companies at the turn of the 20th century.
