Austens Forest Flower Cologne was a scented toilet water sold in the nineteenth century, and this trade card advertised it with a girl in a straw hat who sits in an idyllic woodland setting. Trade cards like this one were handed out by shopkeepers and manufacturers as small colorful keepsakes, often tucked into letters or sold in stacks to be given away. Their chromolithographed images of children, flowers and pretty domestic scenes were designed to make a product feel gentle and respectable, and collectors today value them as a window into how beauty goods were marketed to ordinary households.
