Trade Card: E. Nunes, Clothing Merchant, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is one of four comical trade cards from a set of five, advertising E. Nunes, a clothing merchant. The front of the card depicts a whimsical illustration of a boy mischievously tying a tin can to a dog's tail. The caption, "He may just be President," adds to the humorous tone. The style of the illustration and the overall design suggest a late 19th-century origin. The back of the card features an advertisement with a Christmas story. The address, Corner 5th, Montgomery & Germantown Aves., is printed on the front.
