    I found this trade card and I was wondering if anyone has any information on it. I have not found another one like it and believe it could be Civil War era. Any thoughts?

      I would think it is later-- probably 1880s- 1900.

      Thanks Scott. Many cards in the album were from he 1870s to 1880s so I'm thinking maybe early 1880s.

      Glad to help-- it is a good find. African American related images are very popular among collectors.

      Thanks Scott. There were other African American cards in the album but I have hundreds to go through right now.
