A cat with roller skates and a sombrero serenades a lovely female cat on a balcony. What might this scene have to do with Aesop? I think I can discern a signature of "Morgan" from Cleveland in the lower right of the lithograph; I presume Morgan was the printer of the poster.

Cat on treadwheel chases mouse on treadwheel, and that power's a dog-cobbler's rotary machine for working on shoes. Signs on the shop wall say "Shoes left over 10 days belong to me" and "Save your soles -- Walk on your hands." What might this scene have to do with Aesop? There is a signature of "Morgan" in the lower right of the lithograph, though I cannot discern the rest of the logo; I presume Morgan was the printer of the poster.
