Parker and Wood Seeds and Tools Victorian Watermelon Man Trade Card Rosenthal netter 1 1/2" deep and inThis is my favorite trade card I've found, c. 1890 or so I believe, and a pretty rare one the only other copy I can find of it out there is held int he Cornell University Library Rare and Manuscript Collection. What a face, and what a watermelon, and how much fun I think it would have been to visit Parker & Wood's Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store (with celebrated ice tools!) in Boston, located just a few steps from historic Faneuil Hall. 5 1 8" x
