This trade card for the printing company Tosswill & Co. is a fine example of the elaborate visual style popular in the 19th century. Created sometime between 1800 and 1900, the card features an ornate border with intricate details, the name of the company in a fancy script, and a scene of a building, likely a printing press. The use of green and purple inks adds to the card’s visual appeal, reflecting the high quality of the printing offered by Tosswill & Co.
