Book Description

Buffalo, NY: Dr. E.C. Abbey, 1884. Trade Card. Tiny closed tear (margin only), else bright and clean. Approx. 3"x5" Victorian Trade Card. Approximately 60 different images (over 100 images total) hidden within the image on the front of the card (a truly exeptional engraving). Verso includes list of hidden images and two other ads. One for a book titled, "The Sexual System and its Derangements," and a snake-oil cure all called, "Cutavaco." A lovely example of an uncommon item...quite scarce in as fine condition as found here.
