[Philadelphia: Ketterlinus Printing House]
Date
[ca. 1875]
Physical Description

Description
Series of captioned, trade cards depicting a comical, theatrical scenario promoting the Ketterlinus Printing House established by Eugene Ketterlinus in 1842. Act 1st shows a dandy wooing a pretty peasant girl under the scornful eye of an older, plain milk maid and her riled cat in the foreground and a hunter in the background. Act 2d shows the peasant girl pleading with the milk maid as the dandy skulks away as the hunter watches from the background. Act 3d shows the girl and dandy pleading with the surprised-looking hunter, his gun and dog at his feet, as the "old maid" with her cat walks away. Act 4th shows the hunter wooing the coy milkmaid as the dandy and peasant girl walk away hand in hand.
