Trade cards were an early form of collectible advertising. Popularized after the Civil War by businesses, they offer a colorful look at society in the 1880s-1890s when the advent of lithography made it possible to mass-produce card in color, leading to a golden age from 1876 to the 1900s. Trade cards had a picture on one side and a text ad on the other. In this collection there are beverage advertising cards, 1875-1890, from collections of Boston Public Library.
