Trade Card for Bernstein's Glove Emporium

This trade card advertises Bernstein's Glove Emporium, located at 817 Broadway in New York. The front of the card features a charming illustration of a boy and girl dressed in colonial-era garb. The boy wears a brown jacket and a blue waistcoat. The girl wears a pale blue dress and a white bonnet. The illustration is done in a style that might suggest the business was still in operation in the early 20th century, but given its placement in a collection of trade cards dated circa 1885, the card is likely from that time period.
