Trade Card: Newman & Freud, Millinery, San Francisco, CaliforniaTrade Card: Newman & Freud, Millinery, San Francisco, California

This trade card advertises Newman & Freud, a millinery shop located at 1026 & 1027 Stockton St., San Francisco, California. The front of the card depicts a charming pastoral scene: a woman in a field, singing to a group of cows. The woman is dressed in what seems to be period attire, suggesting the card's age. The style is evocative of a bucolic and somewhat sentimental aesthetic typical of late 19th-century advertising. The back of the card is blank except for the firm's stamped name.
