Pair of colorful chromolithograph die-cuts, the first of a horse-drawn New York trolley car, number 362 to Brooklyn Bridge, with gilt metallic lettering advertising Barnum?s Sacred Elephant, mounted to scrapbook page (trimmed), 5 ? x 10 ??; the second a die-cut of the Sacred Elephant, 6 x 8?. Scrapes and light creases, but both quite well preserved. Together with two trade cards featuring sacred white elephants and one newspaper advertisement.
