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.

Mary Anderson models the latest in subtle color and advertising (though we doubt she would ever wear a hat with this inscription). Born in 1859, we found no evidence this actress ever used "Eclectric Oil." This was a quack cure-all. See the comment below for all the ailments it was supposed to cure. #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards
