Trade Card - Shoneman Brothers, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, circa 1885
This circular trade card, shaped like a tambourine, advertises Shoneman Brothers, a "Leading Trimming and Fancy Goods Establishment" located at 116, 118, 120 & 122 N. Eighth St., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The front features a color lithograph titled "The Morning Prayer," depicting an elderly woman holding an infant, with another young girl standing beside her and a cat playing on the floor in a domestic interior.

A cardboard hanger, manufactured by Wolf & Co. of 243 & 245 Arch St., Philadelphia, is attached to the top of the card.
