Summer casual for the 1890s wasn't all that casual.


Summer casual for the 1890s wasn't all that casual. Returning from the store with some "SAFE" Yeast, this young lady is going to make some bread that "smells sweeter than the flowers."

The back of this card advertises a "patent medicine" and makes a lot of phony claims. See it at [ https://goo.gl/Dc58se ] the Arnold Galleries Quack Medicine page.
