Series of illustrated trade cards for A.C. Yates & Co. clothing store, which began operations on the ground floor of the Public Ledger Building at Sixth and Chestnut Streets in Philadelphia in 1876. Illustrations depict a bust portrait of William Penn and Penn's treaty with the Indians to commemorate the Penn Bicentennial (1682-1882); children walking in the snow and carrying sprigs of holly; a boy sitting on a bare tree limb under a smiling moon serenading cats from sheet music labeled "Au Clair de la lune"; couples on the beach painting, reading by moonlight, and embracing behind the privacy of a large umbrella; swans swimming with flower garlands in their beaks; a traveling hunting party, including two men mounted on horses with a large group of hounds; three bystanders watching a man paint a large sign for A.C. Yates & Co. onto a brick wall; birds; sprays of flowers; two women and a man ice skating together; children blowing bubbles; children tumbling to the ground after hoisting one another to grab canisters from the top of a pantry; putti holding grotesque masks; and a view of Fairmount Park from Belmont, showing well-dressed couples sitting and walking in the park, a horse-drawn carriage and a man riding horseback on a dirt path in the foreground, and bridges spanning the Schuylkill River in the background.
