Trade Card: L. Rosenbaum & Sons, Dry Goods, Elmira, New York

This is one of three trade cards in this record. The front of the card showcases a depiction of Argentinian currency and a native person from Argentina. The imagery reflects a common practice in the 19th century of using exotic or foreign themes in advertisements, although such depictions may now be considered racially insensitive. Below the illustration, the address 201 E. Water St. is clearly visible. The back of the card features a full advertisement for a "Souvenir of Our Spring Opening."
