Banner Lady Cabinet Card Photo A. C. Bonser Furniture & Undertaker Leon Iowa:
$1250.00

A rare cabinet card banner lady photograph advertising A. C. Bonser Furniture Store and Undertaker. The photo depicts a young woman holding several small chairs across her shoulders wearing what looks like a colander on her head. She has an ornate piano shawl draped over her white dress with some sort of chain dangling off her right shoulder. The framed banner sign is resting on a side chair and reads, \"A. C. Bonser Furniture & Undertaker Opera Block Phone No. 200.\" The young women\'s name is written on the backside, but I was unable to decipher it. I found a listing in The Leon Reporter dated September 20, 1900 for an A.C. Bonser and have included a copy of the advertisement along with the cabinet card. I was not able to find any information on the photographer.
