Item description from seller

Business card, 3" x 5", printed on white card stock on both sides using several different typesettings. Front of card has detailed engraving of the Phenix Iron Foundry buildings, with people and carriages along the streets surrounding the foundry, and water and ships in the background. Quite clean. Very attractive, Near Fine. The Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Company moved to Chelsea, Mass., in the early 1880s. This business card was probably engraved and printed within the several years preceding that move. The Phenix Iron Company was established in 1830, and incorporated as a stock company in 1832. The foundry produced some of the earliest American textile-printing machines, including the first American-made calico printing machine.
