Victorian Trade Card - LION
COFFEE, Woolson Spice Co., Toledo, Ohio Very pretty card featuring
a couple of large pink flowers above a small
scenic view with the outline of what appears to
be a church set on rolling hills.
The back explains
how a portrait shape can be cut from the card
forming a "Shadow Picture"
of "Queen Victoria",
which can be projected on a wall with the use of
a lamp or gas jet. It states that there were 20
different shadow pictures in the set, although
the card doesn't appear to be numbered.
