Eighteen free-standing chromolithographs, chiefly of barnyard animals and their human caretakers, among them pigs, horses, and even a triumphantly feathered peacock. The largest element serves as a set piece around which the young agrarian might arrange a diorama and play out scenes of pastoral life. The wood blocks supporting the figures slot smoothly into the box, at the upper lid of which is a large color image serving as label. All figures in fine or near fine condition, showing only mild rubs and singular repair. Box toned and with chipping to lid corners, overall rubbing, elements foxed. Housed in a custom cloth drop back box.
