Trade Card - Bronner's, Buffalo, New York, 1885 circa

The front of this trade card features a color illustration depicting a young woman, wearing a straw hat and a blue dress, holding an infant. A young boy in a striped bathing suit is seated in shallow water beside them, with a natural landscape and mountains in the background. The verso of the card serves as an advertisement for Bronner's, promoting "FINE CLOTHING, Men's Furnishers, HATS AND CAPS," and "Leading Shapes in BOOTS & SHOES." The advertisement lists the business address as "404 to 414 MAIN STREET." The text features varied typography typical of late 19th-century commercial printing.
