CHILDREN, FUR MUFFLERS On BRIDGEPORT GORING, CONGRESS SHOES Victorian Trade Card

Description

Up for bid is a wonderful Victorian trade card for Congress Shoes. Shown is a colorful lithographic illustration of 2 adorable girls wearing winter period attire. When you supersize image 1 you will see the artist's attention to detail. Notice that both girls are warming their hands with fur mufflers. The artistry is just great and the colors are still vivid after all of these years. When you supersize image 2 you will see that the back of the card has a printed Insurance Certificate from the Bridgeport Elastic Web Co. that insures the shoes for 1 1/2 years. These companies were in business at the end of the 19th century. Measuring 4 1/4" X 3" in size, this colorful card was among a large collection of Victorian trade cards. Victorian trade cards like this one are getting harder and harder to find--don't let it get away!
