A propos de cet article

Original trade card with a color illustration of dogs on the front. Titled, "First Lesson," the illustration shows a mother or father dog instructing its three puppies how to catch a rat. The puppies look with attentive gazes at the rat trapped under their parent's paw. Circa 1890s. 4 3/4" x 3." Trade card is very clean and intact overall but there are pencil inscriptions on front and back and additions to the original illustration done in pencil (the parent dog is shown with an added smoking pipe in its mouth). A Good copy. Text on front: "Take Hood's Sarsaparilla; One Hundred Doses One Dollar." Printed on the back are two testimonials that promote Hood's Sarsaparilla claiming that it cures catarrh and purifies the blood. Trade card for C. I. Hood & Company based in Lowell, Massachusetts. C.

Despite their popularity, all of the company's products and their purported medicinal properties were questionable at best. In 1922, the business was sold by Hood's wife, Sarah, to William R. Warner & Co. following Hood's passing. Trade cards were antique business cards that first became popular during the late seventeenth century in Paris and Lyon, France and London, England. Trade cards were often given by business owners and proprietors to patrons and customers as a way to promote their businesses. Prior to the use of street addresses, trade cards had maps so clients could locate the associated business. Many of these cards also incorporated elaborate designs, illustrations, and other decorative features. Trade cards became popular in the United States during the nineteenth century in the period after the Civil War. The late nineteenth century also saw the advent of trade card collecting as a hobby. While they are no longer in use, trade cards influenced the formation of trading cards and were the predecessors of modern-day business cards.…
