A red-haired woman posed beside a white horse, with a banner reading "YOU KNOW," sets this trade card apart from the other horse subjects on the board. Merchants in the Victorian era handed out cards like this by the thousands, often as colorful chromolithographs that customers kept or collected. Horses appear often in these designs because they were everyday sights on city streets and farms, and the animal gave advertisers a familiar, eye-catching image. The banner's slogan was meant to catch a passerby's attention and stick in memory.
