President Cleveland, United States, from the Rulers, Flags, and Coats of Arms series (N126-2) issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. 1888

This 1888 trade card by W. Duke, Sons & Co. depicts a stylized version of the Great Seal of the United States. The card features the heraldic eagle clutching a shield with the American flag, surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The motto “E Pluribus Unum” is displayed on a scroll held in the eagle's beak. This artwork is a prime example of the use of patriotic imagery for commercial purposes in late 19th-century America. The company's advertisement at the bottom highlights their status as "the largest Cigarette Manufacturers in the World."
