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 (6) N76 Duke Cigarettes Great Americans is in largely VGEX condition with the Beecher having been trimmed poorly on at least the left side. The backs and fronts of the cards in the lot are clean and colorful, however, and it would make a good lot for the set builder of this extremely popular set.
