FRAMED Arbuckles' Coffee Card of The National Capitol
|
Founded in the 1860's, the Arbuckle Coffee Company grew and expanded with 19th century America. It was a staple the cowboys carried with them on the trail, and a commodity commonly found in American homes at the time. The Arbuckle Company made a unique advertising effort in the late 1880's and began to enclose small decorative trade cards in their packages of coffee. The front of the card contained a colorful image of children, flowers, sports or even a map, while the back of the card had their advertising and some descriptive information. Later these trade cards became so collectible that the company focused on their success and issued them separately as premiums. These charming map cards illustrate beautifully the history and character the lands. Each map shows lakes and rivers, cities and towns, forts, the population, and area in square miles. Each card measures 3 1/4" x 5 1/4".

For over 60 years the Colton family was the premier publisher of maps in the United States. J.H. Colton, the company founder, issued his first “General Atlas” in 1855 and continued publishing this atlas until 1888. These are the first maps we have ever offered from his 1861 “General Atlas”. We believe these 1861 maps are some of his most difficult to find. Every collection should have at least one map by J.H. Colton.
