This Coffee card was issuedby the Woolson Spice company of the UnitedStates of America as an insert premium in their brands of Lions Coffee duringthe 1890s.I could not find this listedin any guide that I am aware of (American Card Catalogue , Non SportsBible ect.) This series seems to be a subset of a larger group of cards thatwere issued by Woolson under the title “Picture Cards”. In this case the subset is titled “ TheYankee Boy and Girl Traveling” andfeature and American Boy and Girl dressed up in the costumes of differentnations. The back has advertising forLion Coffee and States “A Picture Card in each package of the Lion Coffee nowat your Grocers. Many Designs.” It has a Poem about the particular nationbeing featured and also states that there are 12 different cards in thisseries. The card features SPANISHCOSTUME. The Card measures 3 15/16 inches by 2 13/16 inches approximately. The card does have some lighter edge and corner wear, but is free from major creases. I have scanned the card fairly large for youto be able to judge condition for yourself.
