Charming mixed lot of 9 antique and vintage paper ephemera pieces, most measuring approximately 3–4”, including several beautifully illustrated Victorian-era chromolithograph advertising cards and scraps.The earliest pieces appear to date primarily to the late 19th century, circa 1880s–1890s, when colorful lithographed trade cards were widely distributed by American merchants and manufacturers as advertising.The lot includes an identifiable Edwin C. Burt Fine Shoes advertising card featuring a wonderfully elaborate Victorian costumed couple, a Berkshire Life “Soldier” advertising piece, floral and figural Victorian scraps including children and a baby, plus a few later vintage paper pieces including a scenic postcard and charming “My Book – Jerry Clark” bookplate.A really fun assortment for an ephemera collector, junk journal, scrapbook, collage or mixed-media artist — or simply framed together as a small collection of late-19th/early-20th-century graphic design.Lot: 9 pieces
