A framed print by American artist Vincent V. Colby (b. 1879), "Can I Play in Your Yard?", shows a pale kitten facing a dark-and-white, floppy-eared puppy partly concealed in tall grass. The gently humorous animal scene carries its title and artist credit along the lower edge, with a 1909 copyright and Celebrity Art Co., Boston publisher credit. The accompanying books include Felix Salten's Bambi: A Life in the Woods, Lois Lenski's The Little Auto, and Patience Strong's Quiet Thoughts. They are joined by LIFE magazines, travel pamphlets, maps, and used greeting cards, including colorful die-cut examples. A red Eveready No. 950 flashlight-battery display box retains printed directions for turning its lid underneath and setting it on a counter or table. This advertising piece accompanies the paper collection; the LIFE magazine measures approximately 10.5" x 14".
