Description |
Glass plate advertising slide from Henderson's Livery in Rossland. The slide has a thick black border (paint on the reverse of the slide), with a clear, transparent window in the centre where the advertisement is. The right side of the advertisement has a graphic of a man carrying a large hump-topped trunk on his back. The man has bent knees with wiggly lines around them to signify that they are shaking and there are water droplets falling from his face. There is a three-storey structure in the background with a woman on the top floor with a speech bubble that has "BRING IT UP HERE" inside. There is a short line of washing suspended from the structure. "American Photo Slide Co. A CAL" is in small black lettering underneath the graphic. "We’ll get there" is in large black lettering in the top left side of the advertisement. "if it breaks our backs", "Transfer & Draying", given quick dispatch", and "No trunk too heavy" are in different fonts to the left of the graphic. The last two sayings have embellishments on some of the letters. "Henderson's Livery Ford Agency Coal, Wood and Ice" is in a variety of fonts across the bottom of the advertisement. The left side of the border has a five-point gold star in a circle with "American Photo-Slide Co" beside it (vertically along the side of the slide). The right side has "Los Angeles San Fernando Building" in gold lettering. There is textured tape around the exterior of the slide. |
