- Cincinnati, (OH): P. Clarke, Sculpt., 1840
Cincinnati, (OH): P. Clarke, Sculpt., 1840. Engraved trade card, 4 3/4 x 4 7/8 inches, employing several styles and sizes of type, including italic. We have been unable to trace any information concerning the Caldow enterprise. Rather uniformly browned, but a nice example, with a deep impression, of an early western American trade card. (#5010).
