"The Bridal Veil" is a chromolithograph from the "Transparencies" series of trade cards issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their "Honest Long Cut Tobacco" brand. The image depicts a dramatic waterfall cascading over a rocky cliff, framed by lush foliage and a vibrant sky. The artwork is a prime example of the use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of detailed, colorful images, making it ideal for advertising.
