This trade card advertises D. Herzog & Co.'s New Dime Museum, located on Baltimore Street near Gay Street. The front of the card depicts a comical scene of a policeman using a billy club to knock a man's hat off. The illustration is likely intended to be humorous and eye-catching. The style suggests it is from the late 19th century. Handwritten information, likely added later, indicates a person's weight and the date. The back of the card is blank. There are two images associated with this record; this description is based on the image with the comical policeman.
