Unlike a single portrait, this lithograph arranges Ulysses S. Grant among a sequence of portraits and small scenes, presenting American history as a chain of linked events. Such chronological charts were popular in the nineteenth century as teaching aids, letting viewers trace how one episode led to the next. Grant appears as one link in that narrative, reflecting his prominence as a Civil War commander and as the eighteenth president, who served from 1869 to 1877. Looking closely at the vignettes shows how the printmaker chose to frame national events as a single story.
