This color lithograph is a tobacco label, and its title, *Invincible*, was meant to sell the product rather than record a battle. The New York firm Schumacher & Ettlinger printed it around 1887 and registered it with the U.S. Copyright Office, which is why the label carries a copyright notice. Knights were a popular motif in the 1880s, drawn from medieval romance, and makers used them to suggest courage and strength to buyers choosing a cigar or pipe tobacco.
