Trade Card: Compliments of Mrs. Mark Cohen, Sharon, PennsylvaniaTrade Card: Compliments of Mrs. Mark Cohen, Sharon, Pennsylvania

This trade card features two distinct images. On the front, the main illustration depicts a playfully satirical scene: a woman, possibly representing Mrs. Cohen herself, is seated at a desk, dressed in fashionable attire, acting as if she's the president of a bank. She is seated next to a large bull, perhaps a reference to Wall Street. The style suggests a humorous commentary on finance or business. The text at the top reads, "Playing Bank President...Dining with a Wall Street Bull." Below this is printed: "Compliments of Mrs. Mark Cohen." The back of the card is blank.
