Beautiful outfits for all here! The date on the card is 1892. Knapp Co., the lithographer, did not credit the artist. See comments for the back of the card and the name of the manufacturer using this print as a sales enticement. #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards

And more "plowable" accumulations are forecast. I wonder what's in the young lady's bag.... Any guesses? See comments for the back of the card. #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards

Spring breezes beckon! What a beautiful way to welcome Spring! #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards

Twins, particularly identical twins, are a challenge. Just ask your twins! Should similarities or differences be emphasized? Scott & Bowne celebrated individuality here. #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards

Victorian kids were caffeinated at an early age , if this trade card for Royal Coffee is any indication! Click the images to enlarge. #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards
