Rare Jewish Merchant Trade Card For 1888 Presidential Election; Suffragette Belva Lockwood Serving Men

[Judaica] 3 x 5 rare trade card advertises the 1888 Presidential Election and Jacob Christ's Red Wing Beer. Interestingly, Belva Lockwood, running on the National Equal Rights Party ticket, is in the background and, along with her running mate, Alfred H. Love, are seen serving the other candidates, an action that would indicate subservience. She ran for President in 1884 and 1888. The card also contains the images of other Presidential candidates and their running mates - Benjamin Harrison and Levi Morton of the Republican Party, Grove Cleveland and Allen Thurman of the Democratic Party, Clinton B. Fisk and John A. Brooks, Prohibition Nominees. Cleveland won the 1884 election. All, except, Lockwood have been identified on the verso by a previous owner. The vignette is set in a bar. Advertising text states "Our Politics May Differ But We Certainly Agree That "Jacob Christ's Red Wing Beer Leads Them All." The presence of Belva Lockwood with the group is a major step in the reluctant, and still-evolving acceptance of women in non-traditional roles. Overall in very good condition with a couple of small scratches to one image. Everything we sell is guaranteed authentic forever to the original buyer. We also offer a 30-day return policy.
