"Over the Garden Wall" is a trade card from the Illustrated Songs series issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1893 to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco. The artwork depicts a woman leaning over a garden wall, with a lush background of blooming flowers and foliage. The image, with its gentle colors and delicate details, is a charming representation of the romantic sentiment of the Victorian era. This trade card is a fine example of the use of art in advertising during the late 19th century.
