Four pages of Victorian-era chromolithographed trade cards advertising Corticelli spool silk and Florence knitting silk from the Corticelli Silk Mills in Florence, Massachusetts. Page 1 includes a die-cut Corticelli Kitten card with text on how silk is made and the mills' output, plus several small cards bearing local dry goods merchants' imprints. The other pages show cards with illustrations such as a skater, dogs in a kennel, a castle, children with a cat, and a card also promoting Chadwick's spool cotton.
