Nellie Bly trade card, c. 1890s


O Nellie Bly, upon a 'Bi' 
Around the planets in the sky,
Pursues the stars, outstrips their gleams,
And races comets (in her dreams)

    Love the vibrant orange in her dress. I'm always amazed at how well the colors stand up after so many years. I'm such a fan of vintage trade cards, and I have a few that I have collected in the past couple of years. Thanks for showing this.
