Five colorful & attractive cards from the Biliousine series., 3. One card showing The Bartholdi statue which is the Statue of Liberty. A very large card version not often seen., 4.

One card is connected with the "Grand Excursion of Wayne Council to Atlantic City July, 4, 1881 by Camden & Atlantic Railroad". A very interesting subject on a superbly detailed, attractive, & probably quite a rare card., 7. A very dramatic & colorful scenic "Viriato Oliver Denia" label. This is quite large as it measures 11 inches by 7 3/8 inches., 8. There is a shoe store ad which shows assorted U.S. coins & U.S. paper money.
