Advertisement cards for products—referred to as trade cards—presented delightful imagery that consumers decided to preserve as keepsakes! This late 1800s Victorian advertisement/trade card is advertising Barber Pole Chewing Gum, with a well-dressed lady with flowers on her hat, at her waistline, and at the bottom of the card. This embossed paper piece measures 10.5 inches tall by 4.25 inches wide, with an easel back patented on Feb. 23, 1892. As with anything this age, it has a few bends: one at the neck and one below her waist. A small tear is on her shoulder, along with some wear around her hands. We have added a nice frame to this rare piece, allowing you to display it and proudly protect this fantastic card. 19556-QTU
