Artifact Overview

This 1880 political advertisement catered to both Democratic and Republican voters. With the flap turned up, the front displays an image of Samuel J. Tilden, who failed to secure the Democratic Party's nomination for President. Turn the flap down, and the image of Ulysses Grant, the unsuccessful candidate for the Republican Party's nomination, appears. Either way, the Blackwell's Durham Tobacco Company wins.
