The picture on this late 19th century trade card clearly has nothing to do with Dr E P Miller's Turkish Baths which it advertises.
According to an article in The Encyclopedia of ephemera,1 'the American trade card became radically different from the British in the 19th century'. Whereas in Britain such cards tended to be rather formal in appearance, often only a typograhical design, and designed individually for each individual trader, in America 'it was a brightly coloured picture' designed to be collected.
A number of Turkish bath establishments in the United States used trade cards of this type and, unlike this one, some gave additional information (such as opening hours or charges) on the reverse.
