This is a chromolithograph trading card from the "World's Sovereigns" series produced by Allen & Ginter, a prominent tobacco company, in 1889. The card depicts the then-President of the United States, Grover Cleveland, with a detailed background featuring an American eagle and the inscription "E Pluribus Unum." This series was a popular form of advertising and collectibles during the late 19th century, and the card offers a glimpse into the historical context and visual culture of the time.
