In it we see an excellent example of ethnic and racist stereotyping that occurred in the late 1800s, especially in the US. The image shows us a Chinese Laundry "Yong Gee Fum" with a group of Chinese men wearing long queues, holding hands and dancing around a box of Lavine. Condition: Very Good to Excellent, with only the tiniest of corner bumps at upper left, and a wee spot of surface dirt center bottom. See photo for details.Size: Approx. 2.5 inches high by 4.25 inches wide.

We ship items in rigid toploaders, inserted into secure mailers to ensure your cards get to you safe and sound. It makes our shipping charge somewhat higher than those who just toss your card into an envelope and mail it that way, but we feel the better quality mailer ensures the safe delivery of your item. We ship five days a week, M-F.Terms of Sale:We are not experts on trade cards. We are in the process of dispersing items from an estate, and are learning as we go. We cannot guarantee that a card has not been trimmed. All items are sold "As Is." The buyer should read the auction details thoroughly and inspect the photo(s) completely before bidding.About Us:How we grade our cards: Mint (M) As new, in a pristine state. Not normally applicable to vintage cards unless found in original printed packets. Near Mint (NM) Like Mint, but very light aging or very slight discoloration from being in an album. Not as sharp or crisp as Mint. Excellent ( Ex.) No obvious flaws. Sharp corners, clean and if written on, writing does not detract from appearance. Very Good ( VG ) Minor defects such as album marks, signs of age and handling acceptable that do not detract from a visually pleasing card. Good (G) Noticeable defects, handling and wear apparent. Slight creasing and minor damage not detrimental to image acceptable in this category. Fair (F) Obvious creasing, staining, small tears or damp damage evident. Significant edge or corner damage. Just about in a collectible state. Poor (P) Incomplete, image seriously affected. A gap filler only!
