Antique Victorian Trade CardWH Parsons ConfectioneryOpp Depot Main Street Ayer, MassachusettsUSA
History: This trade card was originally found in an antique scrapbook of someone who lived in Derby Center, Vermont.
This is one of the four cards in this series that shows different scenes of what appears to be a courtship or love but exudes frustration. In each scene the brown suit dressed man is doing all sorts of things to get the woman attention. In this card the lady is happy safely dry on land while the man is fully soaked in the stream.
It looks like this four card series was a blank for brands to add their store name to the upper left beige area. So lots of similar cards feature a different advertising company. Mine are all for WH Parsons Confectionery.
Condition of the card: The glue they used to attach the card to the page was not water soluble (I tried soaking one from the book to see). I have cut the card out of the scrapbook but left the scrapbook page on the back. So know that the reverse image shows the scrapbook paper and not the condition of the back of the card. The scrapbook paper might even have another card image glued to it that was sacrificed as one card was better than the other on double sided pages. The card will have glue on the back but most likely also writing pertaining to the company making the card but I cannot show you. I decided it was better to keep the card and ink as close to original condition from the scrapbook as possible and this is why I am selling as is. This gives you the option to have a conservator or you properly remove it from the scrapbook page if you wanted to.
The card is as is. Please see pictures for condition and size.
