The Evanion Collection covers a variety of material, from advertisements, trade cards and catalogues, to advertising novelties, envelopes and even paper bags. Most of the items date from the late 1860s to 1895, and the majority are English, although there are a small number from France, the USA and Canada. Popular subjects include clothing, food and drink, patent medicines, kitchen equipment and domestic appliances, and a wide range of products and services.
