Description
Offered here is an antique Victorian trade card picturing a young lad from India with Boa Constrictor around his neck and tiger in the back ground. It advertises McLaughlin’s XXXCoffee and was a bonus found in a one pound bag of roasted McLaughlin’s Coffee. The reverse side speaks about the product and that the card is one of a series of National Pictures. Anyone sending twelve wrappers of XXXX Coffee with 2 cent stamp to pay for postage would be mailed a complete set of cards without any printing in the shape of an album. The offer must have been received by July 1st
1889.
There is some chipping of the paint on the cheeks and shoulder of the young boy but the subject is so rare that the defect does not devalue the card.
