1880s 1887 Bufford Funny Orchard Parasol Pear Trade Card


EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical trade card from 1887, published by J. H. Bufford, captures the essence of humor and charm that was prevalent in American advertising during the late 19th century. The illustration showcases a comical scenario set in an orchard, where a perplexed woman is seen holding a pear while pondering how to consume it. The vibrant colors and detailed artwork bring this scene to life, as the woman's facial expression reflects her confusion and curiosity. She stands under a parasol, adding an element of elegance to the otherwise lighthearted image. The cartoonish style adds to its appeal, making it both amusing and visually captivating. This trade card serves as more than just an advertisement; it also offers insight into the cultural context of its time. It represents not only the growing popularity of fruit consumption but also highlights societal norms surrounding women's roles and expectations. As we admire this vintage print today, we are transported back to a time when such illustrations were used as effective marketing tools. This particular piece showcases how creativity was employed even in seemingly mundane advertisements like trading cards. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this unique artifact from history for us to appreciate its artistic value and historical significance. It reminds us that art can be found in unexpected places – even within commercial materials – providing us with glimpses into our past through visual storytelling.
