DescriptionA brown tissue paper wrapper printed in black ink with an image of a well-dressed young woman regarding herself in a hand mirror as she adjusts her bonnet ties; she wears a coat over a long dress. The paper was used by William Bacharach's Company in Hartford, Connecticut, advertising a "bankrupt sale" to get rid of winter merchandise and to make room for his new spring and summer lines. Bacharach was a milliner and seller of "fancy good."
