Very hard to find set of advertising trade cards c 1880s with super color lithography and a theme. This set includes a rare advertising card promoting Singer sewing machines along with trade cards for fabric and patterns. 1. "Some Very Hard Nuts To Crack" is a great promotional text on the back noting Singer advantages over rival sewing machines and noting that they are "continually counterfeited", and the front of the card features an elegant couple dancing while a winged angel sews on a Singer machine in the background of this beautifully lithographed card (4.5" x 2.75"). 2. Ask For Pure Thread Knitting Silk and Take No Other has desirable blue tint and sheen (4.5" x 3.0"). 3. Young girl promotes Clark's O.N.T. Fast Black Spool Cotton which notes on the back that "the advantages to be derived from this new dye of black cannot be too highly estimated by all who use black spool cotton. (4.25" x 2.75"). 4. The Demorest Reliable Patterns promotes their "novelty, beauty, excellence" and "in sizes illustrated and described." (4.5" x 3.0"). Louis Prang, a lithographer and printer, develops the idea of mass-producing small "trade cards" that could be adapted to the needs of individual advertisers at low cost in the 1870's. Illustrated trade cards reach the height of their popularity in the 1880s, not only with advertisers but also with the American public which becomes very interested in collecting them. All cards are in very good condition with near mint color lithographed images and only de minimus age wear on the rear. These early advertising cards easily go for $12 or more each, so enjoy the bargain pricing only at Collectics, part of a major estate collection and consignment of the finest advertising memorabilia and collectibles. $42.00/ set of 4
