This 1888 lithograph, part of the Leaders series produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, depicts Julius Caesar. The image showcases Caesar in profile, adorned with a laurel wreath and Roman garb. The lower portion of the card presents a scene of Caesar's assassination. This collectible card, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the popularity of historical figures as subjects in late 19th-century American popular culture and commercial art.
