Description: This scarce card is one in a series of 24 cards issued as a premium by the LIBBY , MCNEILL & LIBBY Company of Chicago in the United States, as an advertising premium for their various brands of canned meat. The series is designated as series H550 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue and is entitled “ SHAKESPEARE SCENES” Unfortunately Mr. Burdick does not give a date for this series issue but I have always assumed it to have been sometime in the 1890s era . The series is actually broken up into three types. Type 1 has 8 cards done in Sepia Tones, Type 2 has 8 cards which are done in color, and Type 3 has 8 cards which are done on a glossy or glazed type of paper. Each card features a wonderfully elegant illustration of a particular scene from one of Shakespeare’s many plays. The back features advertising for Canned Meats. I believe this card is a Type 2 Color Card and features COMEDY OF ERRORS Act 3, Scene 1 . The Card measures 5 inches by 3 inches approximately . The card does have some corner creasing, but I think displays very nicely. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourselfI will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
