19thc Shipping Clipper Cards
|
Actually these are 19thc Clipper Cards.
I recently saw one at a rare book expo,
and it was about as big as an ipod. I
was surprised because of all the detail
poured into these. They certainly would
work as posters too, and maybe there
were larger versions. Read more
here:"Clipper ship trade cards are
cards that were issued by dispatch lines
to advertise specific voyages of clipper
ships from one port (usually New York or
Boston) to another (usually San
Francisco). They were distributed
primarily during the late 1850s and
early 1860s."www.tradecards.com/articles/br/
