Trade Card - Star Clothing House, Grand Rapids, Michigan, circa 1885
This trade card from circa 1885 serves as an advertisement for the Star Clothing House, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The front of the card features a vibrant chromolithographic illustration depicting a hunting dog retrieving a duck from a reedy marsh. Overlaid on this image, text in an ornate Victorian-style script reads "Star Clothing House" and notes that its "Store Room covers 15,000 sq. ft." located in "Grand Rapids, Mich." The design and imagery are characteristic of late 19th-century advertising trade cards. The reverse side of the card is blank.
