| Description | The Early Advertising Collection, part of Bryn Mawr College Special Collections, contains European and American printed advertisements dating from 1790 to 1910. The majority of the collection are trade cards of the late nineteenth century. The provenance of much of the collection is unknown, and information about many of the products and businesses advertised is not readily available, so the dates given for each advertisement are supplied as general indications rather than as established facts. |
