Series VII. Undetermined Dates, 19th century-20th century, inclusive
Scope and Contents
This series holds about 30 caricatures that are undated and whose approximate dates could not be determined with enough certainty during preparation of this inventory to allocate them to one of the other series. As more information is found over time, it is expected that these items will be shifted to their appropriate place in the other series.
