General Caceres, President of Peru, from the Rulers, Flags, and Coats of Arms series (N126-1) issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. 1888

This 1888 lithograph by W. Duke, Sons & Co. is part of a series of trading cards that depict rulers, flags, and coats of arms. This particular card features General Andrés Avelino Cáceres, who served as President of Peru from 1886 to 1890. The card depicts a portrait of Cáceres, alongside the Peruvian coat of arms and flag. The coat of arms features an alpaca, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia, while the flag is red and white with a white pennant. The card is an example of the genre of historical ephemera, and was likely distributed to promote the company's "Honest Long Cut" tobacco product. This card is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
