200709211218 I just came across an incredible resource for artists or anyone who loves Victorian illustration, humorous advertising and the color lithography of the late 1800's. I have shown only a few examples of Victorian Trade Cards here. The Trade Card Place is an online reference library of an amazing amount of unique and exciting images

I love the picture of a woman in bed with a lobster.

Rex Kidney & Liver Bitters must have been a digestive -- lobsters were thought hard to digest, so the message would be something like "Why take that lobster to bed with you?"
