A Short History: General Ulysses S. Grant, from the Histories of Generals series (N114) issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Smoking and Chewing Tobacco 1888

This 1888 chromolithograph, titled "A Short History: General Ulysses S. Grant," was produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. as part of their "Histories of Generals" series to promote their "Honest Long Cut" smoking and chewing tobacco. It features a portrait of General Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States, in a framed oval, along with scenes of soldiers on horseback and a representation of the American flag. The design is typical of trade cards from the late 19th century, combining patriotic imagery with a product advertisement. This card is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
