A propos de cet article

Original trade card with a color illustration of a baby boy riding on a makeshift balloon made of a spool and its thread and some sort of linen or parachute that is out of view.

In 1898, the Willimantic Linen Company became part of the American Thread Company.

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.…
