#Childs was an entrepreneur with extensive land holdings in Floral Park, New York, USA, in the late 1800s. His mail-order business was among the largest in the country (claimed to be the largest, they all did). He employed the best commercial artists of the time and eventually had his own printer on-site.

The invitation may have been hand delivered and not mailed… I don’t know about Easter card delivery at this time though. #MardiGrasScrapbookProject #Archives #OldMardiGras #Chromolithography
