C-14553

This custom framed trade card features an advertisement for Prof. Horsford’s Phosphatic Baking Powder, showcasing a soft-tone lithograph of a young child in a lace bonnet with pink ribbon, leaning over a stone ledge. The piece combines delicate pastel coloring with classic Victorian marketing sentimentality, framed in mauve and matted in neutral grey.

Light surface scratching to the frame and some minor discoloration to the inner mat. The piece has not been inspected outside of the frame.
