This chromotypographic trade card, likely produced by Hare & Co. LTD in 1910, is an advertisement for the company's printing services. The vibrant image features a basket overflowing with a variety of fruits, including plums, cherries, grapes, raspberries, and an apple, set against a backdrop of flowering branches. The detailed rendering and realistic colors showcase the high quality of Hare & Co.’s printing capabilities. The text at the bottom of the card provides further information about the printing process and paper used. The card is a valuable example of late 19th-century commercial art, highlighting the development of color printing techniques during this period.
