This print presents Ulysses S. Grant in terms of his military service, the focus named in its record rather than his later career in politics. It was published in Cincinnati by E.C. Middleton & Company, and its probable date of about 1866 places it just after the Civil War, when Grant's victories had made him one of the country's best-known figures. Chromolithographs like this one used several stone or metal plates to layer color over a portrait, a process that made colorful images of public figures affordable during the 1860s.
