I was so pleased to add this card for Lion Coffee to my collection. It’s chock full of Victorian imagery. We’ve got flowers, birds, a landscape, and fans. Not only that, but it borders on the Chinoiserie and it’s die-cut. It’s a perfect Victorian storm.
The reverse is equally handsome. It reads:
IF YOU WANT A HANDSOME PICTURE CARD
OF WHICH THIS IS A FAIR SAMPLE
BUY A PACKAGE OF
LION COFFEE.
IT IS COMPOSED OF A SUCCESSFUL COMBINATION
of MOCHA, JAVA, and RIO.
IT IS ROASTED WITH THE
GREATEST CARE BUT IS NOT GROUND
LION
IS THE KING OF COFFEES!
Manufactured by the
Woolson Spice Co.
TOLEDO, OHIO.
And, around the attractive lion logo, we’re told that the coffee:
IS NEVER
SOLD IN
BULK.
And
A BEAUTIFUL
PICTURE CARD IN
EVERY PACKAGE.
