About 1910 Burdick & Son of Albany, NY, produced a distinctive and very memorable trade card showing the high quality chromolithography that they could accomplish on metal. On the back of the metal card in black type against a gold background they provided a thorough explanation of the elaborate processes involved in producing chromolithographed metal for tin boxes, decorated signs, etc. from lithographic stones that often weighed about 200 pounds.
