"Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio" is a chromolithograph trading card from the "Presidential Possibilities" series issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their "Honest Long Cut" tobacco in 1888. The card features a portrait of Joseph B. Foraker, a prominent politician from Ohio who served as the state's governor and later as a U.S. Senator. This series of cards showcased potential presidential candidates in the late 19th century, highlighting the intersection of politics and commercial advertising in American culture. The card's small size and its use of color printing are characteristic of the era's popular ephemera. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
