EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card from the late 19th century showcases an American merchant's advertisement for the innovative Northern Queen washboard. Patented in 1886, this revolutionary household item was a must-have during that era. The lithograph print beautifully captures the essence of turn-of-the-century America, with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The image features a charming depiction of the Northern Queen washboard itself, accompanied by bold text that proudly promotes its superiority. This trade card served as a clever marketing tool to attract potential customers and establish brand recognition. As we delve into this historical artifact, it offers us a glimpse into the world of commerce at that time. It represents not just a simple piece of advertising but also reflects societal values and aspirations during this period in American history. The craftsmanship evident in both design and execution reveals the meticulous attention given to even everyday objects like washboards. Such items were essential for households across America during this era when manual labor played a significant role in daily life. This photograph print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of vintage advertising but also provides insight into how businesses sought to capture consumers' attention over a century ago.
