Trade Card: Isaac Fenno & Co., Clothiers, Boston and Chicago

This trade card advertises Isaac Fenno & Co., clothiers with locations in Boston and Chicago. The front of the card (image 1) is primarily visual, likely showcasing samples of fabrics or clothing styles, although the specific details are unclear due to image resolution. The image is primarily in shades of brown and possibly other muted colors commonly found in 19th-century prints. The back of the card (image 2) contains a handwritten note indicating locations in Menomonic, Wisconsin; 58 & 60 Lake Street, Chicago; and 66 Franklin Street, Boston. This suggests the card circulated beyond its intended advertising purpose and into personal correspondence. The back of the card also includes addresses.
