Victorian Advertising Trade Cards
While Advertising Cards had been used in England since the 1700's, they became very
popular in the United States, following the Civil War, due to advent of new color lithography
in the United States, during the Victorian era.  From about 1870 to 1900, Advertising Cards
were widely collected, and these brightly illustrated cards were often pasted into scrap  books.
Tradesmen and merchants could pick and choose the pictures they wanted to advertise their
goods, products and services, and often chose illustrations that were pertinent to their area of
the country.   Today, these wonderful Victorian Advertising Cards give us all an opportunity to
look back in time, and see what was important to the folks and businesses of days gone by.
Whether you collect your home town material, or choose from a myriad of subjects such as
Sewing, Coffee, Stoves, Tobacco, Household Goods, Farm Equipment, Restaurants, Boots,
Colognes, Cures, Cleaning,  Black Americana, Clothes, Food, Bicycles, and a whole lot more.
Really neat Victorian Advertising Cards are available from a just few dollars each, to several
thousand dollars for some of the really rare ones.  A very enjoyable item worth collecting.
