Trade Card: Nicholl's Blackberry Balsam Cure

This trade card for Nicholl's Blackberry Balsam Cure features a black and white illustration of a caricature of a Jewish-appearing man with two boys, all with exaggeratedly large noses. This image reflects antisemitic stereotypes prevalent during that time. The text on the card advertises "MONEY TO LOAN" and promotes Nicholl's Blackberry Balsam as a cure for various ailments. The illustration is on the front of the card; the back of the card is blank. This is one of two cards in the record.
