A Short History of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, from the Histories of Generals series of booklets (N78) for Duke brand cigarettes 1888

This 1888 lithograph, "A Short History of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut," was part of a series of booklets advertising Duke brand cigarettes. The image, likely intended for a male audience, depicts a close-up portrait of the Union admiral in a blue uniform, framed by a sunburst and a decorative banner with his name. The graphic style of the piece is characteristic of trade cards popular at the time. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
