This 1888 lithograph, part of the "Great Generals" series by Allen & Ginter, depicts Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. The card features a portrait of Jackson against a backdrop of a military scene, including soldiers on horseback and a wagon train. It was created as a trade card for Allen & Ginter cigarettes, a popular method of advertising in the late 19th century. The image is a valuable historical artifact reflecting the popularity of cigarette cards and the enduring legacy of General Jackson.
