Description:Tri-fold pamphlet on lavender wove paper; with text and illustration. When folded, this work would have been suitable for mailing. This broadside presents a one paragraph story about the chain of circumstance that connects a pair of rats, a pair of cats (who run into a lake, but are saved by a passing motorist) and a pair of very unlucky dogs who meet an end when they are hit when the same motorist drives away from the lake with the cats. The interior illustration can be seen when the pamphlet is unfolded completely, and consists of line drawings of the animal protagonists in the story with title text running vertically down the left and right margins of the paper.
