Victorian Clothing Trade Card c1890 – Boys & Youths Fashion – NYC Eighth Ave

Original late-19th-century Victorian trade card advertising a New York City clothing retailer located at 729 Eighth Avenue. The chromolithographed front features a humorous domestic scene with children climbing on a well-dressed gentleman—an eye-catching and playful example of Victorian advertising imagery meant to convey quality and abundance.

The reverse promotes Men’s, Boys’ & Youths’ Clothing, boldly advertising “$300,000!!!” in stock—an impressive claim for the era. Printed on thick stock with strong remaining color and crisp typography.

A great example of Victorian fashion advertising, ideal for collectors of trade cards, NYC ephemera, or 19th-century commercial art.
