Description    

Vintage trade card
Victorian era
Circa 1890's

It. Is. ON! 
Two North American male birds, resplendent in their showy springtime plumage duke it with a song battle. Loser has to leave the tree!   



 Trade cards typically have a picture on one side and an ad on the other. There were custom cards printed for specific products, and stock cards which could be used for any product. Trade cards were popular for medicines, sewing, and farm equipment, and a range of other products.

  Extraordinary card.  It is so very vivid and appealing.    The artist was obviously very accomplished.

  Painting portraits from life surely has its tribulations.  The little artist looks so serious , too.

When you were painting, did you ever try painting using feathers as brushes? I have, it was fun!

That is a very novel idea, but I confess that I never tried it.  I did have fun, however, with the palette knife and sponges and stuff.
