Page 135 of the Earl J. Arnold Advertising Card Collection 1885 http://goo.gl/pcJWhg shows us this small scrap with big style and color. Just one dress like this in Emma Jane Arnold's closet would delight her!
Setting aside the racial/cultural stereotypes of the time, I think the character designs in the brush adverts are really neat. The big heads & little bodies, the four color press, even the misregistered ink - just sort-of fun to look at.
