Star Soap Trade Cards Huge Chromolithographs (Victoriana)

Beautiful color-saturated chromolithographs advertising Star Soap which had a factory in Zanesville, Ohio. These cards are VERY big at 5-1/2" x 7-3/4". Both show little girls --one with her dog and the other washing her doll. The company, Schultz's Sops, introduced the product in 1865 which they say on the back of the cards "was over 20 years ago". Given that info they could date from 1885 to 1894. As you can see from the second photo one card is toned at the back and the shows what looks like red ink at the back. Both are quite legible though.
