Trade Card: Max Stadler & Co., Clothiers, New York City

This trade card advertises Max Stadler & Co., clothiers with multiple locations in New York City and Newark, New Jersey. The front of the card depicts a caricature of Black children with a broken horse-drawn seat. This imagery is problematic and reflects the racist attitudes prevalent during the time period. The illustration's style is consistent with late 19th-century printmaking techniques. Below the illustration, the card lists the business's addresses: 619 & 621 Eighth Ave. cor. 40th St.; Branch of Broadway cor. Prince; and 42 and 44 Newark Ave. The back of the card features a full advertisement; the text is too small to fully transcribe.
