This trade card, printed sometime between 1800 and 1900, advertises the services of Frazer, an Army Printer, Stationer, and Bookseller located at 37 Arran Quay in Dublin. The image features an elaborate frame made of stacked books with the text "Frazer" at the center, surrounded by ornamental flourishes. This trade card was likely used by Frazer to promote his business and attract new customers. It exemplifies the use of visual communication in advertising during the late 18th and 19th centuries.
