Victorian Trade Card - Warner Brothers Coraline Corsets - W.H. Bowen & Sons, Mantan Station, Ohio (Mantua Station)

This is an original Victorian trade card for Warner Brothers Coraline Corsets - "The Latest Aesthetic Craze" and shows a cupid figure holding a Coraline corset before a group of admiring women and a man wearing 17th century type clothing. 

The back shows several varieties of Warner Brother's corsets: Coraline, Nursing, Health, Abdominal, and Flexible Hip. It also notes "$10.00 Reward will be paid for any corset in which the Coraline breaks with six months ordinary wear." At the lower edge it notes "For Sale by W. H. Bowen & Sons, Mantan Station, O." - this is a typo for Mantua Station, Ohio where W. H. Bowen had his shop. 

It measures 4 3/4 x 2 3/4 inches and is in good condition. The front appears to be undamaged, the back has a little discoloration especially to the right edge, and a small ink type stain at the top edge, not visible on the front.

Please note that the images include our watermark, you will receive the original trade card, which of course has no watermark. It will be shipped in a stiff mailer for protection.
