trade card
Victorian advertising keepsake
A trade card is a small printed card used for advertising, typically distributed by merchants and manufacturers from the 17th through early 20th centuries.
Before widespread print advertising, these cards announced a business's location, goods, or services, often featuring elaborate illustrations.
Trade cards are now collectibles, valued for their artwork and historical glimpses into commercial life.
The term also applies to modern business cards exchanged between traders or dealers.
