1885? One three-color card advertising the New Home sewing machine available at Leavitt & Brant in Boston. 3" x 5". The card is titled "The Monkey and the Cat's Paw." $3.50 at Foster City, Feb., '97. One extra copy advertising L. W. Thompson, Cherry Valley, NY.
The monkey works the foot-treadle with "New Home" clearly stated in its metal-work. The cat sits atop the sewing machine. Is his paw caught in the machine? A Victorian woman enters the room with an arm upraised; her small son is behind her. Blank back; no text. Perhaps three inks were used: blue, brown, and red.

As in the other card with this design, the monkey works the foot-treadle with "New Home" clearly stated in its metal-work. The cat sits atop the sewing machine. Is his paw caught in the machine? A Victorian woman enters the room with an arm upraised; her small son is behind her. Blank back; no text. Perhaps three inks were used: blue, brown, and red. By contrast with the other card, this card lacks mention of a specific retail outlet. The reds in this copy are much stronger, for example, on the wallpaper. The floor coloring extends through the title at the bottom of the card.

The verso advertises L.W. THompson of Cherry Valley, NY as a seller of the New Home Sewing Machine. Again in this card as in the Union Square card, the reds of the wallpaper and the floor stand out.
