A porcelain-complexioned Victorian woman gazes serenely from a gilded oval, her pearl-studded coiffure and blush silk décolletage rendered in the vibrant chromolithography that made trade cards the Instagram of the Gilded Age — the front teases "And His Wife — A Series of Eight Designs," with three miniature comic vignettes above hinting at domestic drama, while the reverse pitches Allyn, Blanchard & Latimer's Perfect Roasted Coffee of Hartford, Connecticut, in full advertising glory. Packed as whole roasted berries in three grades (A for mild, B for rich, L for heavy) and sold at 34 & 36 Market Street, the brand promised absolute purity and a money-back guarantee — bold claims in the era before the Pure Food and Drug Act. Printed by Bingham & Dodd of Hartford, this card is part of a sought-after eight-card narrative series, making it a double collectible: Victorian chromolithography and New England coffee trade ephemera in a single object.
