Description: Victorian Trade Card - LION COFFEE, Woolson Spice Co., Toledo, Ohio

Very pretty card featuring several red and yellow flowers above a scenic view of a river flowing through a canyon

The back explains how a portrait shape can be cut from the card forming a "Shadow Picture" of "Buffalo Bill", 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.

Size: approx. 5.125" x 4.25"
