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

This 1889 chromolithograph depicts the Sanibel Island Lighthouse in Florida. It was issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co., the tobacco company, as part of their "Lighthouses" series to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco. The artwork shows the lighthouse in detail, with its distinctive red-roofed lantern room and the surrounding buildings and landscape. The image was likely part of a larger set of cards that served as a form of early advertising, showcasing different lighthouses across the United States. These cards, due to their historical and artistic value, are now part of collections at prestigious institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
