EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph print showcases a head and shoulders portrait of Stephen A. Douglas, an influential American politician of the 19th century. The image is part of an advertisement for El Pequeno Gigante cigars, with the brand name and the date "c1860" prominently displayed below Douglas's image. Stephen Arnold Douglas (1813-1861) was a prominent figure during the period of U.S. history known as the "age of Jacksonian democracy," serving as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and running for President of the United States twice. Douglas is best known for his role in the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed the people of those territories to decide whether to allow slavery within their borders, leading to the infamous "Bleeding Kansas" conflict. The El Pequeno Gigante cigars, which translates to "The Little Giant" cigars in English, were likely named after Douglas due to his nickname, "Little Giant," which he earned for his short stature and political influence. The use of Douglas's likeness in the advertisement was likely an effective marketing strategy to associate the cigars with power, influence, and prestige. The photograph print, with its historical significance and intriguing backstory, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of politics and commerce during a pivotal moment in American history.
