Victorian Trade Card - Arbuckle Brothers Coffee Company - "NOT A TRANSLATOR" (#6)
SERIES: Satire
This is one of 100 cards featuring humorous cartoons and advertising the "Ariosa" brand of coffee that Arbuckles' issued in the late 1880s. All the illustrations were originally published in either Puck, Judge, or Texas Siftings, three of the more popular satirical periodicals of the day. Most typically aimed their derision at blacks, the Irish, immigrants in general, or country "rubes" (i.e., anybody living outside New York City). This particular card was based on an 1888 Judge cartoon drawn by Hal Hurst and features a butcher selling "wurst", who fails to attract a customer who buys only the "best".
The back carries Arbuckles' familiar "4 Points" sales pitch.
SIZE: 5" x 3"
DATE: Undated (but probably 1888 or 1889)
LITHOGRAPHER: Not identified
CONDITION: Very fine, I'd say. This card is lightly toned with fairly sharp edges and corners. (Please see scans.)
MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I will ship up to 4 cards for the single base shipping charge shown. For purchases of more than 4 cards, the shipping charge will increase by just a small increment for every 4 additional cards.
