NOTE: This card uses the same illustration as card #83 in the Satire - Part 2 series, but was issued separately in a slightly larger format, is not numbered, and does not have a frame line around the illustration. There are minor differences in the text layout and the shading is somewhat softer in this card. There are also very minor differences in the layout of the " Four Points" sales pitch on the back of the card.
