This Victorian advertising card includes an adorable image of a young girl cuddling three kittens. A small black dog, watching from the sidelines, appears to be a little jealous.
The advertising on the back of the card is for Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda.

Thank you for your generosity. I’ll try to translate by using Google:
Maybe I use the illustration of a work on my childhood memories.
This is peculiar. When I was a child my mother forced me to take this medicine – to strengthen bones. Until today, that name gives me chills! I hated it and said it was going to hurt me …
Irony of fate or not, years later I was diagnosed with calcification of the bones. What led me to devote myself to activities that do not require much physical effort, such as crafts and graphic arts. And this is my link with the my Altered Art and your vintage images!
Beautiful site!
God bless you!
Welcome to my blog, Luteze. I’m sorry that you had to take this medicine. The name of it is bad enough, I can’t even imagine how awful it must have tasted. I’m sad that you have been diagnosed with calcification of the bones. I hope you will find many free images here to help with your crafts and graphic arts. I like your idea to use this image for a work on your childhood memories.
