Trade Card: Hyman Bros., Live Carp, Troy, New York

This trade card advertises Hyman Bros., a business specializing in live carp. The front of the card features a striking illustration of a large carp, realistically depicted in great detail. The fish is the clear focal point, taking up much of the space.  The style of the illustration suggests a late 19th-century aesthetic.  Below the illustration, the text 'LIVE CARP A SPECIALTY' is prominently displayed. The address, 127 River St., is also visible, although the rest of the text is too difficult to read. The back of the card is not visible in the provided image.
