Trade Card: Max Stadler & Co., Clothiers, Jersey City, New Jersey

This trade card advertises Max Stadler & Co., clothiers, located at 565 & 567 Broadway, corner of Prince Street, Jersey City, New Jersey. The front of the card features a caricature depicting two Black men in a horse-drawn cart that appears to be on the verge of tipping over. The scene is titled "The Home Stretch." The illustration style is suggestive of late 19th-century graphic design. The back of the card is fully covered with an advertisement. [While the image is humorous, it is important to acknowledge that its depiction of Black people is rooted in racist stereotypes common during that era.].
