"More Than One Way" is a humorous lithograph from the "Snapshots from 'Puck'" series. Created in 1888 by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco, this card depicts two figures locked in a comical confrontation, a man with a stick facing a young boy armed with a tennis racket. The illustration is a classic example of 19th-century American humor, highlighting the playful nature of advertising and the social dynamics of the era. The card's small size and vibrant colors make it a perfect example of the trade cards popular during this time.
