Columbus Discovers Land

Columbus Discovers Land
This advertising trade card showing Christopher Columbus (above) was intended to appeal to students. R. H. Buttorff (1849-1934), a photographer in York, Pennsylvania, gave cards like this to teachers, who could then reward students for good behavior by filling out the "Certificate of Reward" (below) that was printed on the back of the card. The certificate also offered a discount on special "Columbian" cabinet photographs that students could purchase at Buttorff's studio.

Certificate of Reward, Given by Buttorff, Photographer, York, Pa., 1893
