Here we have a secretary desk constructed from lumber-core plywood with veneers of Macassar ebony, oak, poplar and mahogany. Its legs are capped with ivory with ivory stripes running up outer sides of front supports. On the bottom of the desk is a horizontal drawer accessed by beaded tassel pulls set in ivory mounts. The desk’s contents are accessed by a key inserted into a keyhole inscribed by inset oval of inlaid ivory. Closed in the first image, there is an accompanying second image where the top half is opened. The interior and writing surface is sheathed in deep oxblood leather. There are more ivory and tasseled-pulls and to provide access to two storage drawers and cabinet on the left side. To the right are open, squared spaces. A ring of rectangular ivory inlay runs around the upper perimeter of the cabinet.

Late-19th-century print advertisement for an alcoholic drink. Its medium is lithograph on paper. In the image are two elegantly dressed women, socially drinking, in Victorian Era Fashion. A decorative pot with plants and a lampshade are set-up in the background. One of the women is sitting down, her left hand slightly bent outwards, as she reaches for the wine glass being handed to her. She wears a black hat, a red cape with black trim, and a light blue dress. The other woman is standing up, wearing an elegant yellow dress. She has her right hand carrying a wine glass, handing it over to the other woman in the scene. Her left hand is grabbing the tail of her dress. Behind this woman is a table lined with table cloth. Wine glass and a bottle are set up on the table. The image has a watercolor feel - vibrant but soft, with varying degrees of contrast throughout the image.
