Trade Card: Oppenheimers, Clothing Merchants, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This trade card advertises Oppenheimers, a clothing store located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The front of the card features a drawing of a Black woman looking out of a window, which appears to be part of the store's storefront. The illustration is presented in a style that might be considered caricature, and its inclusion raises concerns about potential racial bias. The business's address, 82 Market Street & 1 Diamond Street, is clearly printed on the card. The back of the card is blank.
