Advertising Card Scrapbook Page 48 with Puns

Scrapbook page containing 22 advertising cards arranged in four rows of six (two cards are missing). Each card is 4 x 7 cm. and creates a pun by illustrating a phrase in an unintended way such as a man wearing Scottish dress dancing for "Hop Scotch," a cow wearing a suit, tie, and top hat for "Dressed Beef," a hunter running away from a bear for "A Bare Chance," a boy stealing a man's pocket watch for "Losing Time," a very ugly woman for "Unmatched," and a man hanged from a tree for "A Drop Too Much."
