Hold To The Light
Description:
The front of the trade card features text that reads Hold To The Light, then below Peek-A-Boo, Peek-A-Boo accompanied by a drawing of a musical stave with notes indicating a song. The front is dominated by an oval portrait in which a color drawing of a sleeping child appears. The background color is brown. The back of the card features text that reads Mellin's Food For Infants And Invalids, beneath which a pair of eyes appears. If the front of the card is held up to the light, the eyes can be seen as if the sleeping baby is now awake.
