- Used
- Fine
No binding. Fine. Photo Np: [ca. 1903-1905]. Vintage original real photo postcard, 5 3/8 x 3 3/8"" (14 x 9 cm.), some dust-soiling on verso, NEAR FINE. An extremely scarce photo of a very early nickelodeon. The scarcity of printed movie posters (the displays are primarily of handmade signs instead) is telling us that this dates from the early-1900s, before regular printings of posters for films were being standardly made.

Lithographer: Donaldson Brothers for the Arbuckle Brothers Coffee Co.c. 18893" x 5" Chromolithograph. Minor closed tear to left margin, else v. good.
A colourful card showing the map of "Indian Territory" (Oklahoma) with vignette of natives hunting buffalo and a decorative arrow case. Area indicates different tribes such as the Choctaws, Chicasaws, Wachitas, Seminoles and Cherokees.
The Arbuckle Brothers Coffee Company was founded in Pittsburgh, PA by brothers Charles and John Arbuckle. Pioneering a method of roasting and "sealing" the coffee beans with egg whites, which ensured the longer shelf life, their product met with immediate success. As a promotional gimmick they began to include chromolithographed "trade" cards in their one pound bags with themes of sports, food, historic scenes and the most sought after of the series- maps. The advertising ploy proved to be hugely popular and by 1915 another series was issued showing updated populations and newly built roads and railroads.
