InscribedOn recto, lithographed title beneath image, "LITTLE PETS. / 680." Inscribed in black ink at lower center, "Presented to Ada Saxton from her teacher Ann Owens / Aug 24th 1866."

On verso, accession number in pencil at lower right.NotesDate Note: Since George Whiting died in 1863, the print must have been originally issued prior to that date. However, Golden, Sammons & Co. replaced Golden & Sammons in 1867, so that company's imprint must have been added later, possibly using a rubber stamp. (Finlay 9/19/2006)
