This card came from an album started in 1885 full of trade cards, mostly from Connecticut. This card is one-hundred and twenty-seven years old! Measures: 4-5/8" wide x 3-1/8" wide.
CONDITION NOTE: There are no tears or rips. On the back there is one tiny paper loss to one word near the bottom, and some glue discoloration. The front has one very small crease from the middle of her neck almost to edge. It's so slight you can barely notice it.
