I love these early place cards as sometimes the imagery is so odd. Why would a frog be shown resting in front of a roaring fire? Given an amphibian's love of wet conditions, it makes no sense whatsoever, which also makes the card so memorable and desirable. The fact that it sold for a song (or a ribbet...) is sort of a shame. I wish that I would have seen it in time. I would have loved for it to be part of the collection!
