"Forefather's Day, United States" is a colorful chromolithograph from the "Holidays" series of trade cards produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1890. The image depicts a woman in period clothing walking through a snowy landscape with a distant cityscape in the background, likely representing the early settlement of the United States. This card, measuring 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches, is a prime example of the trade card genre popular in the late 19th century.
