Author: Tricycle advertisement.
Title: Advertising leaflet for a new American children's bicycle.
Description: Osaka? c1900. 19x33cm, printed in blue on brown paper. Rumpled, chipped and sometime laid down. ¶ As always, if someone complains about the condition my reply is, "Go find a better copy." And it is called a bicycle (jitensha) rather than tricycle (sanrinsha). Agents in other cities are named but headquarters are in Osaka with the phone number 1837. An expert in Japanese phone numbers might be able to tell us when the number 1837 was reached, giving us the earliest possible date for this.
