Early Veteran Tobacco advertisement poster features the great John. L Sullivan in a typical pugilist pose with hands up, ready to swing. Poster advertises Veteran Tobacco and states, "Save The Wrappers From Veteran Long Cut Tobacco 2 1/2oz 5c," along with "The American Tobacco Co. 507 to 529 w. 22nd St. New York City." Advertisement also features a prize section where consumers could, "Send Us 10 Wrappers and Secure FREE one of these Elegant Photos (Unmounted) With No Advertising On It." Poster is of light cardboard material and has some staining, chips, paper loss, and water damage, but still retains a very pleasing image. Framed to 23x18". Classic 19th century image of Sullivan supplies incomparable graphics.
