The caption on this trade card was Our Idol.


The caption on this trade card was Our Idol. Who was this? Who idolized her? Evidently she suffered the same fate as the rest of us, idolized one day and forgotten the next! In her day of prominence, she dressed well. This trade card was blank on the back and without the mark of any advertiser. It did have a note that claimed it was copyrighted, but didn't reveal who held the copyright. Due to its age, it no longer matters. It is now in the public domain.

Hat at the ready at her feet, somebody wanted to be sure to show off this outfit and the very full hairdo.

Hat at the ready at her feet, somebody wanted to be sure to show off this outfit and the very full hairdo. This card is a mystery. There were no markings on it to indicate its sponsor or maker. #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards #19thCenturyTradeCards
