Original 1881 advertising trade card for Jas A Storer’s Holiday Bazaar in Richfield Springs, New York. This richly printed Victorian piece features a cozy winter cottage scene, glowing windows against a moonlit forest, and a detailed view of church bells with a white dove in flight. The reverse side includes Storer’s 1881 holiday message describing books, albums, toys, fine goods and other merchandise offered for the Christmas season.
This is a beautiful example of late nineteenth century small-town New York advertising and an excellent addition for collectors of Victorian trade cards, holiday ephemera, or Richfield Springs history.
