The N76 Duke Tobacco Great Americans set is arguably the best looking Duke set from the dozens they offered during the 1880's. The artwork and lithography of the set is second to none really. Duke selected generals, presidents, poets, inventors and other famous Americans to include in their set. Inexplicably, they made two versions of the Henry Ward Beecher card. Beecher was an clergyman and abolitionist who passed away in 1887. It is generally believed to be an 1888 issued set but there is no known reasons for the second Beecher card.
This lot of (10) cards from the N76 set are largely in VGEX to EX condition with clean fronts and clean backs save one--the Farragut card--that has some writing on the back. The cards are very clean and would make welcome additions to any midgrade set that needs completion.
