EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures American soldier and politician Ulysses Grant in a trade card advertisement for Blackwell Durham Bull Tobacco, dating back to the 1870s. The colour lithograph showcases Grant's commanding presence, dressed in his military uniform as he symbolizes strength and leadership. Grant's image on this trade card serves as both an endorsement for the tobacco brand and a testament to his esteemed reputation. As a former Union general during the Civil War, Grant played a pivotal role in preserving the United States of America. His subsequent presidency further solidified his place in history. The inclusion of Grant's portrait on this advertising ephemera highlights how influential figures were utilized to promote products during that era. This trade card not only aimed to attract customers but also appealed to patriotic sentiments by associating itself with such an esteemed national hero. Beyond its commercial purpose, this photograph is a valuable artifact that offers insight into 19th-century American politics and advertising practices. It exemplifies how political figures were intertwined with consumer culture even then, using their popularity and influence for promotional purposes.
