Description
Antique advertising "trade card" (blank)Circa late 19th century
Illustration of a child in fanciful baroque costume, holding a wooden sword and "preparing for battle".
Trade cards typically have a picture on one side and an ad on the other. There were custom cards printed for specific products, and stock cards which could be used for any product. Trade cards were popular for medicines, sewing, and farm equipment, and a range of other products. Trade cards are a common ancestor of today's business cards and collectible trading cards.

This is a really cute card. It's really cool that these were the parent idea of business cards and trading cards.

YES! Just like that. Or the prizes inside cereal boxes, or cracker jacks.
