A trade card advertising Hulman & Co. features a setter dog named Champion Antonio, which sets it apart from the general run of dog pictures on this board. Trade cards like this one were handed out or left in shops and were typically printed in color with a lithographed image to catch the eye. Hulman & Co. used a champion show dog to suggest quality and pedigree, a common tactic in late nineteenth-century advertising. The bird dog breed was popular with sportsmen and gentlemen, so the choice of a setter carried its own message about the goods being sold.
