A pretty little girl graces the front of this Victorian trade card. Again, we most likely have a stock card which the retailer selected from a catalog to have printed with his information.
She’s dressed cheerfully for springtime in a casual hat trimmed with little daisies. She has pinned flowers to her white shirt front and she wears large glass beads which blend with the golden curls of hair that cascade over her shoulders.
The reverse of the card reads:
OFFICE OF
G. Shindler & Co.,
165 & 167 FIRST STREET
Portland, Ogn.,……………….188
