Parker and Wood Seeds and Tools Victorian Watermelon Man Trade Card floating leaves floating faces While I think these areThis is my favorite trade card I've found, c. 1890 or so I believe, and a pretty rare one the only other copy I can find of it out there is held int he Cornell University Library Rare and Manuscript Collection.
