Johann Friedrich - Dye House Business Card

I discovered a business card of Johann Friedrich's Jamaica Plains Dye House, which has circulated on Family Search. Posted by Nola Bryan, it's a fancy card with an illustration of the Dye House.

There are fairly interesting details about this card.

- It names both the "Office" (the building on the right), and the "Dye House" (the building on the left) for directing vistors of the business. The office would have been Johann Friedrich's house.
- You can see the train in between these two structures, in reference both to the Green Street Station mentioned, along with the railroad, which would have been visible from the dye works, of the Boston and Providence division. Indeed, this illustration (which I speculate may have been a work of lithography done by Fred's brother-in-law, Ernst Wetzler), look like it is from the vantage point of Brookside Avenue, looking towards the dye works and railroad. You can see from the prior maps the Dye House with the 3 section structure, and the office building also to the right.

- You don't see Stony Brook in the business card, and it looks like the artist also ignored Joseph P. Shaw's structures which would have been in visibility of the Dye House. But you can understand for advertising the Dye House that those structures would have been artistically removed.
- Based on what we know of the land, this card would have been made prior to December 1884.
