N285; "Morning Glory Maidens" Card ~ "Yachting"; D. Buchner & Co.; Back Damaged

Description

Suffering several minor condition flaws,as well as a quite significant one, this late-Ninetieth Century tobacco card is from the D. Buchner & Co.'s "Morning Glory Maidens" series, sub-group General Subjects. Distributed through the Finest or Bravest tobacco product, this card is a large-format example from the series which has been designated by the ACC as N285. Scan #1 shows the front side which bears the maiden entitled, "Yachting". As seen in Scan #1, there are two small stains, one on the right edge and one one bottom edge. What appears to be a faint pencil notation is seen at the upper left corner. A small, light wrinkle is present near the lower left corner.
Scan #2 shows the reverse side which is heavily concealed and fully
compromised by the presence of paper residue from having been mounted in a Victorian-era scrapbook.
Either by soaking or other means, I have made no effort to remove this overcoating.
Thus the card remains in "as found" condition.
The card meets exactly the
measurement standards for this series.
