What are Advertising Trade Cards?

The following is the inventory of our Advertising Trade Card Collection. A popular form of advertising in the late 19th century, these cards are primarily from the 1870's to early in the 20th century. However, there are a few more modern forms of advertising or "business cards" included throughout the collection.

For a more detailed inventory of this collection, consult the Advertising Trade Card Collection finding aid.
