"Watch him kick it," from the "Terrors of America" set is a humorous trade card from 1888-1889 promoting Honest Long Cut Tobacco. The card features a boy looking around a corner at a man, with a playful caption and colorful 19th-century aesthetic. This lithograph, part of a set of trade cards, showcases the popular style of advertising in the late 19th century. W. Duke, Sons & Co., the tobacco company, used these cards to reach a wide audience. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY holds this piece, which is a testament to the artistry and cultural impact of trade card advertising.
