"Number 14, Jumping Card," from the *Tricks with Cards* series (N138) was issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco in 1887. The card depicts a hand holding a deck of cards as a single card, the two of hearts, floats above the hand. The series, likely distributed as trade cards, were printed in color and are a prime example of 19th-century American advertising. The card is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
