Egg Bike

Egg Bike
"F. S. Andrew & Co.'s Markets. Best meals. Lowest prices."

A Victorian-era trade card with an Easter theme for F. S. Andrew & Co.'s Markets, which were located in New Haven, Connecticut.

See the History of the City of New Haven to the Present Time (1887), pp. 609-10, for information about Frank S. Andrew and his company and p. 611 for a portrait of Andrew.

For other imaginative Victorian illustrations of improbable bicycles, see The Standard Rotary Shuttle Sewing Machine and Flowery Bicycle Calling Card.
