This trade card, part of the "Governors, Arms, Etc." series issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. between 1885 and 1892, features a portrait of Governor Sawyer of New Hampshire. The card's design incorporates patriotic imagery, including the state's coat of arms, a view of the Old Man of the Mountains, and a depiction of the Vice Admiral's flag of the US Navy. The inclusion of the "Honest Long Cut" brand name at the bottom suggests this was a promotional card for the company's tobacco product. The card's vibrant colors and detailed illustrations are characteristic of the chromolithographic printing process popular during this era.
