The Great Generals series

[Mike Serpa]

Some examples of the Great Generals series from Allen & Ginter's Cigarette cards. Circa 188.

Beauregard, Cromwell, Hannibal, etc. About 50 images are available at the link. Kind of neat to see.

Thanks a bunch. I didn't know of these (just read about them on Wiki). Tobacco company art is of interest to me because I'm related to some well-known tobacco folks in Richmond. Way cool.

The LOC has 2100 baseball cards from the American Tobacco Company.

If anyone finds a Honus Wagner card from the American Tobacco Company they don't want I'd be happy to take it off their hands.

Fun link. Didn't see Pope or Bragg in there, though.
