Unlike the portraits elsewhere on this board, this piece is a theatrical advertisement for Chas. Banks' Original Spectacular Burlesque, *Gen. Grant's Trip Around the World*. The show poked fun at the former president's journey abroad, which began in 1877 and took him through Europe, Egypt, India, China and Japan over more than two years. That tour drew enormous press attention and made Grant a popular target for newspapers, cartoonists and stage producers, who turned a formal diplomatic trip into light entertainment.
