NASH - LEMON SERIES

This series is very, very common on online auctions. They were published in 1908 and seem to be all by the same artist. They often feature ethnic stereotypes, particularly about Germans, Jews, the Irish, and Hillbillies. In the lower left corner of each card is a number between 1060 and 1071. The images are shown in numerical order.

And pick their own choice for a mate
