This item is the second deck, or ''picture deck'', consisting of images of ''good things'' gathered from many sources: ''familiar and nostalgic objects from the animal, mineral and vegetable kingdoms'', including toys, common household items (scissor, thimbles, twine, and buttons), coins, marbles, jewelry, and lace.
