Trade Card for Saks & Co.

This trade card advertises Saks & Co., a Washington D.C. based business. The card features a portrait of President Benjamin Harrison and an American flag, suggesting the card was printed during Harrison's presidential term (1889-1893). The back of the card features the results of the 1884 presidential election, suggesting the card was likely printed sometime after that election, but before 1893. The card was displayed at an exhibit at the Library of Congress in 2005.
