Well, here we have another Victorian trade card from my collection of ephemera. This was a standard stock card which could have been printed with specific information for a business or a company. However, it never was.
It’s…it’s…well…I’m not quite sure what’s going on here. So, once again, I look to all of you for inspiration. Let’s have a “Caption Contest.” It’s a contest inasmuch as you’re participating, but that’s about it. Rather like Mr. Punch’s Puzzles, there’s no prize, really. Just public congratulations. Still we have fun.
You can give me a caption, or, you can come up with a whole advertising scheme here. What’s being advertised? What company is this? What would the back of the card say? Let’s see what you come up with! Post your answers in the comments.

Don't be an ass, buy Donkey Brand Dentifrice.
Good use of the word "Dentifrice."
Donkey Belch Parasols...because a lady is always prepared.
Donkey Breath? Try our fancy breath blockers.
A true salvation.
Braying Donkey Outdoor Airconditioner
The Braying Donkey Outdoor Airconditioner keeps the breezes blowing on days where there is no breeze at all.
And if you add our patented Donkey Sweet Breath Lozenges (available in cool mint, new mown hay, and sassafras ) your nose will thank you.
Some people prefer Donkey Belch Parasols to ease the donkey breath stench.
Remember, whenever things get uncomfortable you can always count on a braying ass.
I wish we had a prize! We'd have a winner. "Whenever things get uncomfortable, you can always count on a braying ass." is the quote of the day!
It's a card for donkey-proof hairspray.
A very handy product indeed.
I can't top Darcy's.
It was pretty perfect.
Donkey Brand Parasols - For when its time to get your ass off the beach.
Well done, Dashwood!
