Victorian Trade Card – Wall Street, New York – Wright’s Indian Vegetable Pills Advertising (c. 1890s–1900s)

This striking antique trade card features a classic black-and-white view of Wall Street, New York, showcasing the dramatic canyon of early skyscrapers leading the eye toward the spire of Trinity Church. Horse-drawn carriages, early street traffic, and richly detailed architecture capture the energy of Manhattan at the turn of the century.

The reverse advertises Wright’s Indian Vegetable Pills, along with several other preparations marketed by the Wright’s Indian Vegetable Pill Co., New York. Bold red and black typography promotes a variety of late-19th-century remedies, making this an appealing piece of early American medical and patent-medicine advertising.

Features:
Original antique trade card, c. 1890s–early 1900s

Reverse: Advertising for Wright’s Indian Vegetable Pills, Crossmann’s Specific Mixture, McMunn’s Elixir of Opium, Peery’s Dead Shot Vermifuge, and Roman Eye Balsam

Approximate size: 5 ⅜” x 3 ⅜” Condition:

Very good for age with light edge wear and minor corner handling consistent with period trade cards. The back shows slight aging but remains clean and clearly legible.

A wonderful addition for collectors of New York ephemera, Victorian trade cards, patent medicine advertising, or 19th-century Americana.
