“VICTORIAN ERA TRADE CARDS” are basically the business the card equivalent for the period from the mid-1800’s to about the early 1900’s. Below are the “FISHING” Themed “VICTORIAN ERA TRADE CARDS” from my Collection. …… All or virtually all items shown in this section are ‘original’ pieces from my collection, but from ‘time to time’ a very limited few may not be & in those very few cases would have probably been added for a special reason or context (in those very limited cases, I will try to ensure it is noted as “copy” or give an attribution to my source. ……. I’ve only recently started populating this web site & there’s lots more to be added regularly (please feel free to email me with any questions or comments related to any of my website’s content):
