In this listing we are offering a pleasing & attractive 1883 Christmas & Santa folding Victorian trade ad card. This trade ad card shows a litho of Santa on the front seated with a girl in his lap while a dog looks up. On the edge of the front & the back is the street address & the name of the company of the company that issued the card. The company that issued this card was: \"Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart\". The address was: \"606, 608, 610, 612, Penn. St., Reading, Pa.\" The back shows a seated woman sewing (probably intended to represent Santa\'s wife) & a small girl is on the floor at her feet.
When the card is opened, by folding out, the left side shows an engraving of Santa Claus on a roof in the process of climbing in to a chimney. The wording is \"Merry Christmas 1883\" & \"Beautiful Holiday Goods, Santa Claus\' Headquarters is at our store\". On the right side is an engraving showing Santa having arrived inside the house & standing next to the fireplace. The wording on this side is: \"Happy New Year 1884\" & \"Novelties\".
The size is 8 1/8 inches long by 4 9/16 inches wide. There is minor wear at the fold & some separation at the fold. But, about 1/2 of the fold is still attached & there is only a very tiny bit of loss of design at the edge. A beautifully designed Christmas & Santa trade card with excellent visual appeal.
