SERIES: Birds and Miscellany
This is one of a series of 50 cards issued by Arbuckles', probably in the late 1880's, depicting birds (#51-#69) and other miscellaneous subjects (#70-#100), and advertising their "Ariosa" coffee. This one shows a cute little girl in a white dress and bonnet, holding a bouquet of flowers in her left hand.
The back carries the familiar Arbuckles' "Four Points" sales pitch.
SIZE: 5" x 3"
DATE: Not dated, but likely late 1880s
LITHOGRAPHER: Not identified
CONDITION: Fair to good, I'd say. While the front of this card is only lightly soiled, the back has significant evidence of prior scrapbook mounting, mostly in the form of glue and paper residue, but also with a few spots of surface lifting. The edges and corners are just slightly worn. (Please see scans).
MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I will ship up to 4 cards for the single base shipping charge shown. For purchases of more than 4 cards, the shipping charge will increase by just a small increment for every 4 additional cards.
