A framed and mounted 22" x 29" advertisement for S.J Patterson Wholesale Coal. A copy of this particular piece is filed in the Library Of Congress. It humorously depicts a father discovering his daughter and suitor necking in the parlor by candlelight. Other illustrations show a miner in a hard hat, lines of coal loaded rail cars lined up on a factory siding and the declarations, "Stocking Sheds at Cincinnati, O., Miner and Shipper of Jackson Coal and Western and Southern Shipper of Anthracite Coal. The frame is gilded and very fancy, the print is in very good condition. It's a great example of 19th Century advertising art. - Ken & Rosemary Roberts Collection -59024
