H68.263.19


Trade card in an organic rectangular shape; in the front there is a painting of a (Dutch?) house, with a woman walking towards it. It is framed on top and bottom by interlaced big poppies, that are also embossed. On verso, in gold letters "Geo. Haas & Son, fine candies, 810 Market Street, San Francisco." Inez Brooks-Myers, May 6, 2009: The style of the narrow card, perhaps a bookmark, is art nouveau--twining natural forms, poppies, vines, etc.
