Made a post about this one a little while ago. Love Sharing it when I can.
One of the first images of kids and collecting cards. Not the most cordial approach from this kid but that's ok. The strategy of the day for kids was a smart one. Wait for folks to go pick up a pack of smokes and follow them to get the card.
It's an amazing snapshot of the late 1880s collecting scene and a precursor to card collecting as we know it in the 20th and 21st century.
There's also a card in the set of kids trading the cards with each other that is equally cool.
Give us that card mister!
