Trade Card - Schwed Bros., Somerville, N.J., circa 1885
This colorful trade card advertises Schwed Bros., Clothiers and Gents' Furnishers, located at 142 Main Street, Somerville, N.J. The card features a charming lithographic illustration of a young child, possibly a girl, dressed in winter attire including a large fur hat and a blue coat with a fur trim, standing on a snowy path. Bare trees and a warm-toned sky complete the winter scene. The business name "SCHWED * BROS." is prominently displayed with decorative asterisks, typical of late 19th-century advertising.
