Trade Card: Union Clothing Co., 80 & 82 State Street

This die-cut trade card for the Union Clothing Co. features a large, eye-catching image on the front: a beautiful woman's bust in a detailed illustration. The woman's image is framed in an elegant design, and is reminiscent of fashion illustrations of the late 19th century. Below the image, an instruction to the viewer is printed: "THE UNION ADVISES YOU TURN ME OVER." Turning the card over reveals a full advertisement on the back. This back advertisement is titled "RUINS OF THE SEASON" and provides the business's address: UNION CLOTHING STORE, 80 & 82 STATE STREET. The style and imagery suggest a connection to fashion trends and advertisements prevalent around the 1880s.
