Description: Rare Antique 1890s -1900s Land Sale Card Needham, Boston, MA Historic Americana! 9 1/4" x 4" ~ Little to no edge wear on this beautiful historic piece! These are amazingly well made on very heavy cardstock for the time period showing the high quality of the land listing. What a stunning piece of Americana! Land, Real Estate sale card by Robert H Storer for 90,000 square feet of land in Needham, MA for .05 a foot. Just imagine a typical home costs $1,269,500 in Needham these days. What a deal! With all the access to Boston then and now this area was and is very desirable. The first electric trolley cars appeared in Boston in 1889. In the late 19th century, streetcars ran along main roads used by horse drawn vehicles, powered solely by electric overhead wires. Imagine hanging this antique advertising on your wall as home decor in any room! Antique and Vintage advertising besides being rare is all about the wonderful graphics that lithography provided that modern printing just can't reproduce. This was mostly a lost art after the 1920s unfortunately. Americana are a reminder of a bygone era, but the amazing lithography process is unparalleled even to this day in my opinion. Museums and Art Institutes have galleries dedicated to them and more and more of them and collectors are seeking these out to preserve their history. Once the limited supply for sale is gone and on display with collectors or in galleries then they will be very difficult to acquire. My pictures seriously don't do it justice. Most of these artists were very good but desperate for work during that era and got paid very little and received no recognition for their work. Unfortunately, the majority of these artists will remain unknown, but we can keep their art alive forever.
