Arnold's Victorian Fashion

No winter gale can take away the warmth of this smile! Anonymous as usual, the artist here shows rare motion as the stylish garments flow with the wind. This work is exclusive to this Collection, but is in the public domain as one of several trade cards given away by the Woolson Spice Company to promote Lion Coffee in the late 1800s. Print and share at your pleasure! #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards #ArnoldsLions
