Girl with Toys in Snow—Christmas Trade Card for Edward Ridley & Sons, 1880

Girl with Toys in Snow—Christmas Trade Card for Edward Ridley & Sons, 1880
This is the front of a Victorian-era trade card advertising a New York store (for the other side, see Christmas Greeting, Edward Ridley & Sons Department Store, New York City, 1880).

I'm not sure why this wide-eyed little girl is taking all those toys with her out into the snow. She's dressed for the winter weather, however, and is even holding her hands—and her doll—in a muff to keep them warm.

Christmas Greeting, Edward Ridley & Sons Department Store, New York City, 1880
