Trade Card: S. I. Freeman, Men's and Boys' Clothing, Hartford, Connecticut

This trade card advertises S. I. Freeman, a men's and boys' clothing merchant located in Hartford, Connecticut. The front of the card features a caricature of a Black man in a large hat, with text above suggesting a theme of 'injured innocence'. The illustration's style is reminiscent of late 19th-century printmaking. The business's address, 14, 16, & 18 Asylum St., is clearly printed on the card. The back of the card (second image) contains a full advertisement, which is too small in the provided image to read completely. The back shows additional text and imagery that likely contained more details about the clothing offered.
