There are two pictures showing a view of all (8) Old Bathroom Related Paper Items in this lot. In the first picture the front and back is shown. It is an old photograph card of a baby going to the bathroom on a pot. This old photo was made by Gurney & Son of 5th Avenue, New York. The back has a crest. There is obvious wear, two creases, and writing on the front and back. The writing on both sides reads as follows: WHO PUT ME ON THE COLD COLD POT, WHETHER I WOULD OR NOT? MY MOTHER Next there are (4) related cards. These look like post cards but the backs are blank. Two are in color and two are black & white. The colored ones are in French and English and appear to be more finished. The black & white two almost appear to be like sketched drawings, much less defined. The first one is of a toddler child sitting on a pot looking at pictures or a magazine. It is marked as follows: "BUSINESS IS BUSINESS" Les affaires sout les affaires MADE IN U.S.A. B-232 ©1931 Camilla Lucas, NYC The next one has an image of a young girl with a doll and a young boy urineating on a tree with his scooter parked. It is marked as follows: "HOW PRACTICAL!..." Ce que c'est pratique! MADE IN U.S.A. B-234 ©1928 Camilla Lucas, NYC The next two are identical and have a more unfinished look of the card above. These each have a number 42 in the lower left and a black cat in the lower right. They are marked as follows: SHE, "NOW ISN'T THAT PRACTICAL" Next is an old postcard. It has a colorful image of a young woman and man walking to an outhouse by a lake.
