Description
Illustrated trade card promoting Murray & Lanman’s perfume and depicting a full-length profile of a woman, possibly meant to be Asian, carrying a parasol over her shoulder. The woman wears her hair tied up in a bun and is attired in a pink and yellow, kimono-style dress, with a white collar, and pink shoes. She stands on the grass in front of a large fountain and dangles an object in front of her face, observing it closely. Murray & Lanman, the partnership between perfumer Robert I. Murray and David Trumbull Lanman, formed in 1835 in New York City. The firm's style changed to David T. Lanman & Co., then Lanman & Kemp in 1861.

Advertising text printed on verso: Always a favorite. Time has proved beyond a question that our claim to the title of “Imperishable Perfume” for our Murray & Lanman’s Florida Water is based upon absolute facts. It is to-day, as when first it appeared, winning immediate favor with all classes. The sweetest, the richest, the most delicate, the most lasting of all perfumes. Where, except in this delicious floral water, can one find such a rare combination of excellencies? Since the introduction of Murray & Lanman’s Florida Water, numberless rivals and imitations have been foisted upon the public, to live their day and fall into the neglect which, sooner or later, attends pretentious inferiority. The genuine article is known by the words, “Lanman & Kemp, New York,” Printed in water-mark on every leaf of the little pamphlet wrapped around each bottle. This mark also protects our other preparations.
