This trade card, created by Allen & Ginter between 1885 and 1895, is one of a series advertising their Opera Gloves. It features a large illustration of a brown leather glove holding a smaller card depicting a woman wearing a green and red hat. The card is numbered 24, indicating its place in the larger series. These trade cards, once widely distributed to promote products, are now prized by collectors for their insights into 19th century advertising practices.
