According to Wikipedia, Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-1899) "was a Civil War veteran, American political leader, and orator during the Golden Age of Freethought, noted for his broad range of culture and his defense of agnosticism. He was nicknamed 'The Great Agnostic.'" Because of his beliefs, Ingersoll was criticized by some as a "Modern Pagan" (see lecture ticket below).
This unused advertising trade card (above) is one of a series of six cards that caricatured famous nineteenth-century men, including Ingersoll, showman P. T. Barnum and robber baron Jay Gould.
"Kash," the artist who created and signed this trade card, was Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, better known today for his Dogs Playing Poker paintings.
