Trade Card - Desbecker & Co., The Globe Clothiers, Buffalo, NY, circa 1885
The front of this trade card features a detailed chromolithograph of a large long-eared owl with outstretched wings, perched on a rock, looking towards a smaller owl visible in the misty background. The upper left corner displays the business information: "DESBECKER & CO., THE GLOBE CLOTHIERS, Hatters and Furnishers, 37-39 Seneca St., opp. Post office, Buffalo, N.Y." The card is titled "LONG EARED OWL" at the bottom. The verso of the card features a prominent blue circular logo with a globe design and the text "CLOTHIERS. HATTERS & FURNISHERS. THE GLOBE". Surrounding text advertises the benefits of trading with "The Globe," highlighting "LARGEST STOCK, HANDSOMEST STYLES, Perfect Fitting CLOTHING" and "LOWEST PRICES in Buffalo," along with a repeat of the business name and address. The imagery is typical of late 19th-century chromolithography. 3.
