"Governor Zulick, Arizona Territory" is a trade card from the "Governors, Arms, Etc." series issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. Printed between 1885 and 1892, the card features a portrait of Governor Zulick alongside a depiction of the Arizona Territory's coat of arms, the Saguaro cactus, and the flag of the Secretary of the U.S. Navy. The card is an example of 19th-century trade card advertising, a form of collectible ephemera that often combined images with text to promote products and services. The artwork is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
