- Abstract
This article describes a collection of over 500 mostly eighteenth-century trade cards and other printed ephemera at Waddesdon Manor in England. The collection was bought by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in 1891 at one of the sales that dispersed the numerous collections of architect Hippolyte Destailleur. it is one of a number of items that made its way directly and indirectly from Destailleur's cabinet into Baron Ferdinand's choice but modest library, Giles Barber's catalogue of which is to be published in 2005. The histories of the collection and of the eighteenth-century French trade card are described.
