Trade Card: Mordecai & Smith Clothing House, Baltimore, Maryland

This trade card advertises the Mordecai & Smith Clothing House in Baltimore, Maryland. One of four cards in this record, this card features a comical illustration of a man in a Pilgrim hat within a scene containing racist imagery. The back of the card is blank. Research indicates that M. (Moses) C. (Cohen) Mordecai and Judson H. Smith operated the business at 178 West Baltimore Street. [Moses C. Mordecai (1804-1888) was a prominent Charleston, South Carolina businessman, and this card may reflect his business dealings in Baltimore].
