Description: Antique Victorian Trade Card Universal Fashion Company 143 Water StreetAugusta, MEUSA History: This trade card was originally found in an antique scrapbook of someone who lived in Derby Center, Vermont. The card features a young boy in a top hat holding flowers he got for a girl who looks down at him from a window. Condition of the card: The glue they used to attach the card to the page was not water soluble (I tried soaking one from the book to see). I have cut the card out of the scrapbook but left the scrapbook page on the back. So know that the reverse image shows the scrapbook paper and not the condition of the back of the card. The scrapbook paper might even have another card image glued to it that was sacrificed as one card was better than the other on double sided pages. The card will have glue on the back but most likely also writing pertaining to the company making the card but I cannot show you. I decided it was better to keep the card and ink as close to original condition from the scrapbook as possible and this is why I am selling as is. This gives you the option to have a conservator or you properly remove it from the scrapbook page if you wanted to. The card is as is and is curled at one of the edges. Please see pictures for condition and size.
