Large Antique 1800's Advertising 'Blank" Card School Girl with Blank Slate

A charming and rare large 19th-century advertising “blank” trade card, featuring a sweet young schoolgirl holding an empty slate ready for custom printing or shop branding. Beautifully lithographed in rich color tones, this delightful Victorian image captures the innocence and optimism of the era’s school days. This image was reproduced in smaller formats, and used for advertising trade cards for various goods and businesses.

Produced for a stationer or educational goods company, it remains unprinted—an uncommon survivor from the golden age of advertising ephemera. Wear consistent with age, including surface scuffs and corner wear that add to its authentic patina. From a collector's scrapbook, a perfect collectible for lovers of antique advertising, educational memorabilia, or 19th-century chromolithographs.
