SERIES: Birds and Miscellany

This is one of a series of 50 cards issued by Arbuckles', probably in the late 1880's, depicting birds (#51-#69) and other miscellaneous subjects (#70-#100), and advertising their "Ariosa" coffee.

This one shows a mischievous young boy dressed in his winter clothes and boots, and preparing to throw a giant snowball at some unseen target. His red scarf is blowing in the wind and his hat is falling off, while his dog is happily watching from a safe distance.

The back shows the familiar Arbuckles' factory scene with buildings, dock, railroad cars, and a ship.
