Antique Advertising Trade Card Cherub Shoe Cart
Details
Delight in this whimsical Victorian trade card from Ludlow Clothing House, Ludlow, VT, featuring a charming cherub riding a shoe cart pulled by two doves. Once used to promote ready-made clothing, gentleman’s furnishing goods, boots, shoes, slippers, hats, caps, trunks, and bags, this lively card is a rare glimpse into 19th-century advertising charm.
This one is particularly lovely as it is blank on the front of the image {most of these were stamped by stores with an ink pad type stamp with their name}, this one has not been stamped. Perfect for collectors of vintage ephemera, it captures the playful artistry and elegance of a bygone era. Beautiful to frame, to tuck into a mirror on your mantel, or to add to your collection of antique advertising ephemera.
- Measures 4-3/4" x 2-7/8".
