Abstract

This card is curious in several ways. It has the same instepped borders and is in fact identical with the text and image of a stock trade card in the "5430" series. I also have other trade cards in a different format from Chicorée Extra and Daniel Voelcker-Coumes.

Abstract

The card seems to belong to something like a series of great French writers. The worker's sons pay more attention than I would have expected. Perhaps they have already heard the magic word "treasure"! It is surprising that the card bears no advertising at all.

Abstract I enjoy the clever way in which "Cleveland Clothing Company" is worked into the curvature of the clouds on the picture side. The fable, not in Perry, is frequent in later editions as "The Boys and the Frogs." Here is James' version: "A TROOP of Boys were playing at the edge of a pond, when, perceiving a number of Frogs in the water, they began to pelt at them with stones. They had already killed many of the poor creatures, when one more hardy than the rest putting his head above the water,...
