Trade cards were one of the most prevalent forms of advertising in the U.S. from around 1875 to 1900. They had their origin in England in the 1700s with tradesmen advertising their wares. The advent of lithography in the 1870s made it possible to mass-produce them in color. The Philadelphia 1876 Centennial Exhibition sparked the beginning, as many were passed out at that event.

Just about every New York City adult, and millions more nationwide who watch crime stories on American television, has heard of Rikers Island. It's the vast city's main jail complex in the middle of the East River. This photo of a lovely hallway was obviously taken elsewhere . . . at the house in the city's Queens borough whose original owner, Dutch immigrant Abraham Rycken Van Lent, whose family name would be americanized as "Riker", also owned the island that would one day house the notorious jail
