• PAYSON'S INDELIBLE INK (Large stylized text across the bottom)
• The Forbes Lith. M'f'g Co. Boston. (Small printer's credit in the bottom right border)History & Background
- The Product:Payson's Indelible Ink was invented in 1835 by John Payson Williston, a pharmacist, temperance advocate, and anti-slavery crusader based in Northampton, Massachusetts.
- Purpose: It was heavily marketed throughout the 1800s and early 1900s for permanently marking fabrics like linen, silk, and cotton so that laundry wouldn't be lost, mixed up, or have its identification picked out like needlework.
- The "Combination": As seen at the top of the card, it was frequently sold as a combination set alongside Briggs' Marking Pen, allowing buyers to write directly onto textiles with a common pen without needing any prior chemical preparation.
- The Lithographer: The small print in the bottom right corner attributes this beautiful lithograph print to The Forbes Lithographic Manufacturing Company of Boston, a highly prominent commercial printing firm during the late 19th century.
SIZE: Please See Ruler in Scans - Condition... Antique, so NOT "perfect." Please study the scans for flaws.circa 125+ Years Old - Antique 19th Century Card: Pen / Bottle, Ink / Household -related Business Advertising Card
