Published in New York around 1885, this Currier & Ives lithograph of Ulysses S. Grant appeared in the year he died, on July 23, 1885, at Mount McGregor in New York. The firm ran a busy shop in the city for much of the nineteenth century and sold inexpensive prints to a wide popular market, and portraits of national figures like Grant were among its steady sellers. The print, number 2535 in the firm's catalog raisonné, shows how a former general and two-term president was packaged for ordinary households just as the country was mourning him.
