Die-cut advertising card in two pieces.
Chromolithograph, 14 x 7cm and 9.3 x 4.6cm.
A curious advertising card in the shape of a pug dog atop a ladder, with another pug on a lower rung who can be moved up or down with his stamp-cut arm. The overprinted text is for “White’s sewing machine and bicycle, Cleveland O.” Ad text includes “It runs light and sews right. The White is King.”
George P. Harris & Scarfe in Adelaide seem to have been the sole agents for White’s sewing machines from 1881. Ref: SA Advertiser, 15.6.1881.
Provenance: The Graham Collection.
Minor paper loss to right corner and repair to legs of removable card.
