Default T206 Back Art

Posted By: T E


One of my favorite Victorian (in fact, actually pre-Victorian) advertising motifs is the pointing finger, which was on the Sweet Caps backs in the 350-460 Subjects.


The pointing finger was common in broadsides and advertising, even packaging, to highlight one point for the consumer. I guess here it was that they expanded from 350 to 460, although I don't know much about T206 history.
