The familiar story of a girl in a red hood and the wolf is put to work selling a remedy here, which sets this card apart from ordinary book illustrations of the tale. Patent medicine makers of the late 1800s distributed colorful lithographed trade cards like this one, handed out by sellers or tucked into packages to keep a brand name in mind. Fairy tales made popular choices because nearly every household knew them, and such cards now serve as a vivid record of both advertising art and the stories families shared.
