The bulk of the collection dates to the early 20th century and features images that have been exaggerated or embellished for comic effect. Common themes include oversize fruits, vegetables, fish, and other animals as well as some scenes of futuristic cities. A significant number of cards feature the Jackalope, a mythical animal from North American folklore.
