SERIES: Satire

This is one of 100 cards featuring humorous cartoons and advertising the "Ariosa" brand of coffee that Arbuckles' issued in the late 1880s. All the illustrations were originally published in either Puck, Judge, or Texas Siftings, three of the more popular satirical periodicals of the day. Most typically aimed their derision at blacks, country "rubes", or the Irish. This particular card was based on an 1887 Judge cartoon drawn by S. D. Ehrhart and features a father chastising his son for making too much noise, or not making any at all, as the case may be.

The back carries Arbuckles' familiar "4 Points" sales pitch.

SIZE: 3" x 5"

DATE: Undated (but probably 1888 or 1889)
