Content
This advertising card from around 1890 shows a number of well-known politicians sitting in a coach, reading "De Amsterdammer", a daily newspaper. In the 19th century it became more and more usual to advertise for books and periodicals. Screaming slogans, offering windfalls or recommendations (true or not) by well-known figures were then - as now - current sales promotion tricks. In addition to advertising in papers and periodicals, posters in shops, prospectuses, circular letters and cards like this one were also used.
