In very good condition. Porcelain card is a card with a coating that resembles porcelain. This was often used for trade cards, but also (as here) for series of mostly commercial prints. Production was ceased in the late 1800's / early 1900's, as the materials contained lead, which was toxic to the tradesmen creating these.
