This trade card advertises J. Mandelbaum, a clothier located at 20 South Pearl Street in Albany, New York. The front of the card depicts a caricature of a Black boy watching a rabbit run. The image is likely intended as humorous, but it reflects the racist imagery common in advertising materials of the late 19th century. The address, "20 South Pearl St.", is clearly printed on the card. The back of the card is blank.
