1885? 8 colored cards (apparently from a series of 8) used for J. & P. Coats Spool Cotton (unnumbered, with advertising and the fable text in various formats on the back), McPhail Pianos (each marked with the same simple number "32" and only the fable text on the back), Emerson Pianos, Eureka-Maryland Assurance and other advertisers (with various numbers introduced by "No."). Some also appear blank. 3" x 5". Multiple copies of each card, and reverses of three, as seen below. Between $3 and $12.50 from various dealers. There is an advertising booklet for Wright's Indian Vegetable Pill Company that uses seven of these eight fables and their illustrations, excluding only CP. Curiously, I purchased a set of seven "J.P. Coats" cards from Sherry Sonnett, Los Angeles, in May, '11, and CP is again the one missing card. |
