"H.M.S. Temeraire, Royal Navy" is a chromolithograph from the "Naval Vessels of the World" series of trading cards issued by the Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts the Temeraire, a British ironclad warship, in a detailed side view. The image is rendered in a realistic style, capturing the ship's intricate rigging and powerful cannons, and showcases the technological advancements of the late 19th century. The use of a stipple printing technique adds texture and visual interest to the image. This card is a prime example of a genre of collectible trading cards that were produced in the 19th century by tobacco companies to market their products.
